The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has told Russian authorities the best solution would be to work with them after receiving intelligence it hopes will provide proof of systematic state-sponsored doping.
Last year, a report commissioned by Wada found evidence Russia operated a programme from late 2011 until August 2015 across the vast majority of summer and winter Olympic sports.
Now Wada has what it believes is a copy of a Moscow anti-doping laboratory’s database.
The file corroborates the testimony of whistleblower Gregory Rodchenkov, who was director of Russia’s anti-doping laboratory during Sochi 2014.
