Loser Pay System to be ImplementedNov 20 1999MONTE CARLO, Monaco (AP) -- Looking to deter national federations from challenging the results of doping tests, track's governing body has agreed to a "losing party pays" system of arbitration, its drugs chief told The Associated Press on Friday. The International Amateur Athletic Federation currently pays all costs when a dispute with a national body is referred to arbitration. But at a meeting of its governing council, the IAAF agreed that the loser of an arbitration case should in future pay all the costs. "At the moment it is too easy for a national federation to bring a case and leave the hot potato in our hands," IAAF vice president Arne Ljungqvist told the AP. "We have to pay if we win or lose. That is a system that is obsolete and has to change."
