Polish sports industry needs changes - Sports Minister

20:47

Poland's sports industry needs changing, Sports Minister Witold Bańka announced on Tuesday. "Despite Poland winning the most medals in 16 years at the recent Rio 2016 Olympics, there could have been more medals, but that does not mean that changes are not needed," the minister said. Bańka continued: "I would not get too bogged down in the statistics, because there could have been a few more medals, but that does not change the fact that changes are needed in various disciplines of Polish sport." The Minister was speaking following the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics in Brazil. The comments came in the middle of a doping scandal which has surrounded the Polish weightlifting federation.
