WADA contemplates repeat suspension for Russian Anti-Doping Agency after reports suggests manipulation of Moscow's data

Firstpost  

If manipulation is proven, WADA would also have to decide whether it could win cases against Russians with data that is now unreliable The Russian anti-doping agency could face suspension again based on information indicating that data from the Moscow drug-testing lab had been manipulated before being delivered to the World Anti-Doping Agency earlier this year, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press. WADA had reinstated Russia’s anti-doping agency after gaining access to long-sought-after data that was to be used to confirm doping positives for athletes participating in the 2014 Sochi Olympics and other events. A RUSADA on solid footing was thought to be a cornerstone requirement for Russia’s return to the international sports world after a scandal that sullied two Olympics, along with the reputations of both WADA and the International Olympic Committee, which critics — especially in the West — deemed as going too soft on the Russians. If manipulation is proven, WADA would also have to decide whether it could win cases against Russians with data that is now unreliable.
