adminBERLIN. — German public broadcaster ARD, which first brought the Russian doping storm to light, said yesterday it would air new footage implicating Russia’s sports minister in what it described as “state-controlled doping”.
The explosive allegations in ARD’s December 2014 documentary “Secret Doping Dossier: How Russia produces its Winners” have touched off investigations that led to a raft of Russian athletes being stripped of their Olympic medals.
World athletics’ governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), also imposed a ban on Russian athletes from competing in international track and field events over claims of state-sponsored doping. — AFP.
