Wada looking into allegations relating to Rusada chief
IOC recommends lifting of ban on Belarusians competing
Russia’s return to international sport has been delayed following allegations that its head of anti-doping was involved in covering up drug test results at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
While the International Olympic Committee said on Thursday that athletes from Belarus should now be free to compete under their own flag and anthem, it admitted it still had “concern” over Russia.
Sources have confirmed that concern relates to recently reported claims linking Russian anti-doping agency director general, Veronika Loginova, with a government-supported doping programme at the Sochi Games.
