Russian officials admit to existence of doping program
After months of denial, Russian officials have for the first time admitted to the existence of a doping operation, which affected some of the world’s major competitions.
Lawyer Richard McLaren delivers his second and final part of a report for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), at a news conference in London, Britain December 9, 2016.
The officials, however, continue to reject the accusation, that the doping program was state-sponsored. The second report by McLaren, published earlier this month, claimed more than 1,000 Russians benefited from a doping cover-up between 2011 and 2015.
Nearly two dozen Russian Olympic medalists have also been stripped of their medals, after their samples were re-tested.
