A World Anti-Doping Agency investigator says he has evidence that the Russian state helped cover up doping cases around the 2013 world track championships in Moscow.

Richard McLaren says Russia's Sports Ministry told the WADA-accredited laboratory in Moscow "to not report positive sample results over the period before, during and after" the 2013 worlds.

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, a member of FIFA's ruling council, has repeatedly denied allegations of a state-sponsored doping program.

McLaren, a Canadian law professor, says he shared "credible and verifiable" evidence from his ongoing investigation with an IAAF task force.
