A report to be released Thursday is expected to describe a culture of bribery and corruption at the highest levels of international track and field, two months after the sport was roiled by revelations of a state-sponsored doping system in Russia that implicated athletes, coaches, trainers, doctors, laboratories and the country’s antidoping authorities.
The report is the second installment from a commission appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency to investigate allegations of widespread doping in track and field. The new findings are expected to focus on top global officials in the sport who have been accused of blackmailing athletes who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
