Detailed accounts of state-sponsored doping in Russia have roiled global sports this year. On Friday morning, another investigation into Russian doping will wrap up.
The World Anti-Doping Agency, the primary international watchdog on the use of performance-enhancing substances, will publish the results of a new inquiry into Russian sports.
Yes. In July, an earlier inquiry concluded that the Russian government had helped top athletes use performance-enhancing drugs leading up to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and throughout the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. It confirmed what Russia’s former national antidoping lab chief, Grigory Rodchenkov, had told The New York Times in May.
