The tactics Russia's government and sports leaders used to help their Olympic athletes get away with doping now have a name: "disappearing positive methodology."
The practice lasted at least four years, covered 28 Olympic sports and the Paralympics and involved at least 312 positive tests that went unreported at the behest of higher-ups in the country's sports ministry, according to a 97-page report issued Monday.
"A mind-blowing level of corruption within both Russian sport and government,'" is what Travis Tygart, the CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, called it.
But in his report on Russian doping, arbitrator Richard McLaren did not make any recommendations for the future of the Russian team at the Rio Olympics.
