WADA says Serbian authorities break up criminal ring distributing banned substances
LAUSANE, Switzerland (AP) — The World Anti-Doping Agency said on Wednesday Serbia's authorities have broken up a criminal ring that was importing and distributing doping substances in the country. WADA said in a statement 10 members of the organized group have been arrested and 3,000 kilograms (6,614 pounds) of banned substances worth 3 million euros ($3.1 million) seized alongside 100,000 euros ($104,000) in cash, cryptocurrency worth some 500,000 euros ($522,000), numerous properties, and seven websites used for online sales of the drugs. Other seized items included luxury cars and watches. The agency said the move in Serbia was a result of its program to increase anti-doping intelligence and investigation capacity throughout Europe that involves 48 countries.
