'We've Found Evidence to Support Doping Allegations'

Sportsworld

Available for over a year

On Monday, a separate report will be published which one of its co-authors describes as investigating "a whole different scale of corruption than the Fifa scandal or the IOC scandal in respect to Salt Lake City". An independent World Anti-Doping Agency commission (Wada) was asked to investigate allegations made by German broadcaster ARD last December - namely, whether Russian athletes were allowed to compete when it was known that they'd committed doping offences, or whether the processing of failed tests was delayed, allowing them to compete. International sports lawyer and law professor at Western University, Richard McLaren, is one of three Wada independent commissioners who has co-authored the report, and the one who made that Fifa/IOC comparison. Lee James asked him what this report is going to mean for the IAAF. Photo: World Anti-Doping Agency logo. Credit: Wada.
