The president of the World Anti-Doping Agency defended his handling of the Russian athletics scandal in an interview on Tuesday, even as his organization moved to revoke the accreditation of a Moscow lab at the heart of the scandal.
An independent commission set up by WADA published a 323-page report on Monday that outlined the scandal, the most extensive state-sponsored sports doping program since the 1970s. The commission was created in the wake of a documentary by the German broadcaster ARD in December 2014, which used the accounts of athletes, coaches and antidoping officials to show how the Russian government had helped procure drugs and cover up positive results.
