Investigation into Russian doping still splits sports world
GLASGOW -- Anti-doping doping leaders were challenged to produce more credible evidence of Russian cheating by a leading Olympic executive on Saturday.
Leaving a meeting of the World Anti-Doping Agency executive committee, IOC representative Gian Franco Kasper dismissed the credibility of the report that detailed Russian state-sponsored doping.
Manipulation of samples at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games and cover-ups of positive tests across dozens of summer and winter Olympic sports was reported by WADA investigator Richard McLaren in July ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Games.
"I want to see the proof," Kasper, who is also president of the skiing federation, said in Glasgow. "We cannot say it's correct or not. He has to bring proof with names."
