The International Association of Athletics Federations, IAAF, has given Russia a week to respond to the allegations.
The result of the investigation, WADA has set presented on Monday. According to Wada has extensive doping discovered in the Russian Federation.
It also demonstrated “system failure” between the IAAF and the Russian athletics federation “prevent the effective anti-doping work.”

– It is very disturbing. We have witnesses, recordings and first-hand information. It is very sad to see that this has not been able to happen without all incorporated knew. It’s worse than we could imagine. It has affected the results in the races, said Richard Pound, President of the Commission endorses the report, in a televised press conference.
– It may have been the remnants of the former Soviet system, and I hope Russia addressing this continues Pound, a former chairman of WADA.

– We recommend that Russia is excluded before 2016, says Pound.
Russia’s Sports Minister has not been associated by some document but Pound says it’s impossible for him not to have been able to know what happened.
Ad:
– Our conclusion is that this could have happened without the government knew about it. They can not have failed to know it. In a way, this can be described as state-sponsored doping.
According to the Pound will all new doping sample taken by the country’s athletes will be analyzed outside of Russia. WADA also proposes that five athletes and five coaches will be turned off for life because of doping, writes the BBC.
In addition to doping cases there are in Wada suspicion of extortion and bribery. It is up to the IAAF to decide on WADA’s recommendations should be followed.
– We do not think this is a Russian problem and that we are seeing only the tip of the iceberg, said Richard Pound at the press conference.
Later on Monday announced the IAAF chairman Sebastian Coe that he will raise the issue of sanctions against Russia at the next meeting later in November. In a statement labeled Coe WADA report as “alarming” and also said that any sanctions could mean that Russia shut off from future IAAF events.
Coe has given Russia the week to answer allegations .
Pound describes how Wada visited Russia’s anti-doping laboratory in Moscow in December 2014 but that WADA staff could not do the investigation that they wanted to:
– The Accountable Manager had destroyed about 1,400 tests, so it did not go, says Pound.
The report proposes that the laboratory in Moscow deprived of its Competence and manager kicked.

The scandal extends is also the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 where the Commission writes that the Russian Federal Security Service FSB inflitrerade anti-doping work.
The Commission report is a direct result of the German television channel ARD documentary “Top Secret doping: How Russia creates its winners” which aired on December 3, 2014. In the documentary was claimed that Russia engaged in “state-sponsored doping”, something that today’s WADA report also points to have taken place.
