Wada: doping was state-sponsored
Calls for Russia to be suspended from athletics over report
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) claimed yesterday that Russia seemed to have been running a “state-supported” doping programme, with secret laboratories in Moscow destroying evidence.
Wada’s 323-word report unveiled allegations of doping among Russian athletes, with the laboratories covering-up positive doping results by destroying over 1,400 samples.
It also found that the London 2012 Olympics were “sabotaged” by the inaction against Russian athletes.
