Doping lab for Sochi provisionally suspended
None
The Russian drug-testing laboratory for February's Winter Olympics in Sochi faces suspension unless it significantly improves the reliability of its results by December 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year.
The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facility's accreditation will be imposed. The Moscow lab is due to move some of its facilities to Sochi to handle the tests at the February 7-23 Winter Games. (AP)
