The head of Drug Free Sport New Zealand says athletes are right to be angry over the decision by the World Anti Doping Agency to lift the suspension of Russia's anti-doping agency.

Wada, has lifted a three-year ban on its Russian agency, Rusada, which was suspended in 2015 because of its oversight of the near-ubiquitous doping of Russian athletes under a state-sponsored programme.

Nick Paterson, says he's dismayed and enormously disappointed by the WADA decision - and athletes will be too. Lynn also talks with Auckland based Commonwealth Games weightlifter, Cameron McTaggart.
