The former head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, New Zealander David Howman, is not happy about delays in finding out whether Russia will be barred from the Rio Olympic Games.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) wants to explore legal options in the wake of the scathing McLaren report.
Mr Howman told Newshub he believes there can be no delays afforded, with the Games fast approaching.
"It's very, very clear. Let's get on with it."
Mr Howman understands a Court of Arbitration ruling in the disputed ban for Russian track and field athletes is behind the delay, and that the IOC could be ready to make its final decision on Friday night (NZ time).
But he says leaving the decision to lawyers is not a practical method of resolving the situation.
"I don't see the need to go running to lawyers. I see the need for people to say we actually stand up for principles and we support clean athletes, and we'll support them by showing that governments and countries which have a doping program affecting all athletes in all sport ought not to partake in Olympic Games."
Mr Howman is adamant the IOC needs to intervene and make the ruling itself.
"Lawyers can only give advice," he said.
"They're not tribunals, they're not effective people who can stand up and say that is a decision on behalf of the world.
"The IOC is that body."
