The New Zealand Olympic Committee responds to the two four-year bans received by distance runner Zane Robertson today:
“The offences committed by Zane Robertson are deeply disappointing and his actions go against everything the New Zealand Team stands for.
"We condemn all forms of doping. Every athlete has the right to compete on an even playing field and Robertson’s actions have undermined the integrity of sport.
"We thank Drug Free Sport New Zealand for their commitment to supporting the New Zealand athletes who are proud to compete cleanly. We also acknowledge Athletics NZ, DFSNZ and HPSNZ for extending wellbeing support to Robertson.”
Nicki Nicol, CEO and Secretary General, New Zealand Olympic Committee.
