"The so-called blackest day in Australian sport was really a black day for Australian politics.That�s the assessment of Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who has stepped up his criticism of the previous Labor government�s response to claims of doping in the country�s most popular sporting codes.

��I�m not saying everything�s perfect when it comes to sport and performance-enhancing drugs,�� he told Macquarie Radio on Monday.

��But far from being the blackest day for Australian sport, it was a black day for politics, it was a black day for the Labor party.��

Labor chose to blacken the name of the nation�s sporting elite to give itself a short-term political distraction, Mr Abbott said, describing it as a ��silly, squalid, sordid�� thing to do."

��It�s pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.��
