Police cold on ACC doping claims

THERE are no active criminal investigations into allegations raised by the Australian Crime Commission's year-long examination of organised crime and drugs in sport despite state-based police having been aware of its findings for the past five months.

ACC chief executive John Lawler, under pressure to defend his agency's handling of last week's sensational report warning crime gangs were infiltrating the major professional sports, said the operation had largely gathered intelligence rather than evidence and was not intended to result in arrests. "The purpose of such an operation is not to make arrests," Mr Lawler told Senate estimates yesterday. "The purpose is to understand the threat, risk and vulnerabilities."

UPDATE

John-lawler-acc-report

John Lawler from the Australian Crime Commission flanked by Kate Lundy and that good looking serious bloke from Labor announcing the new no-evidence no-suspect based approach to press conference oriented crime patrols.

Any resemblance between the conduct of this press conference and that one with Commandant Lassard in Police Academy is coincidental.   And yes I have found the link and watched the video on youtube.   And no I won't post it.
