Canada has all the legal power it needs to enforce anti-doping rules in athlete villages for next year's Winter Olympics, including authorising police raids, Vancouver Olympics official Dick Pound said on Monday.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been working with organisers of the 2010 Games and Canadian law enforcement officials on a protocol on sharing information to combat use of banned performance enhancing drugs.
Canada does not have specific laws dealing with athletes' use of performance enhancing drugs, which has raised questions about police being able to conduct raids in athlete villages, such as those conducted by authorities at the 2006 Turin Games.
