Russia face Tokyo Olympics ban over ‘inconsistent’ Moscow lab data
• Wada gives Russia three weeks to explain alleged irregularities
• Russia’s appearance at World Athletics Championships in doubt
The World Anti-Doping Agency has given Russia three weeks to explain alleged irregularities in laboratory data retrieved from Moscow.
Wada said it would fast-track a “formal compliance procedure” to look into the allegations at a meeting of its executive committee in Tokyo. If substantiated, the results could trigger a fresh ban on Russian athletes at next year’s Tokyo Olympics.
