INTERPOL is to stage an international meeting of police and experts to discuss ways of fighting the growing international traffic in illegal sports performance-enhancing drugs. The agency is particularly keen to collate more information about the problem for its databases, which can be accessed by police forces worldwide. A planned international working group is to be convened before mid 2004 to chart a plan to fight sports-drug trafficking, working with sporting federations and funding sponsors.
