LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Inspired by the Russian doping scandal, a new nonprofit foundation is offering financial and legal assistance to whistle-blowers with information about cheating in international sports.

The foundation, Fair Sport, is working with the World Anti-Doping Agency, the global regulator of drugs in sports, and plans to help protect and advise people who have evidence that could inform the agency’s investigations as well as related government investigations into bribery, corruption or drug trafficking.
