(ATR) International Triathlon Union president Marisol Casado tells Around the Rings that the McLaren report demonstrates the need to change governance and doping standards.

"I think very logically every organization has to evolve as I say for the ITU too," Casado tells ATR on the latest edition of ATRadio. "As much as I know after the McLaren report part two, it looks like the problems are quite defined in Russia and other International Federations.

"Just taking the lessons learned from that we need to evolve the system to make it more efficient," she says.

Casado was reelected as president of the ITU on Monday, beginning her final term at the helm of the federation following ITU’s approval of term limits during its annual congress.

She says her final term will be focused on evolving the sport of triathlon and implementing more good governance measures such as the term limits proposal.

Casado also discusses the federation’s progress leading up to the Tokyo 2020 Games and her thoughts on the 2024 Olympic bid race.
