The president of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) says it will take at least two years to implement the IOC proposals to change the method of drug testing. He also seeks more funding for the doping watchdog to do its job.
The internal document leaks suggested that Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) covered up the Russian athletes doping scandal in 2009, six years before it banned the country from international competition. The IAAF denied the covering up.
President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday Russia needed to conduct its own investigation into allegations its athletes had systematically taken performance-enhancing substances and that someone needed to take personal responsibility for the problem.
Russia could be banned from international athletics, including the 2016 Olympic Games, after an anti-doping commission report on Monday alleged widespread corruption and collusion that added up to a state-sponsored drugs culture in a sporting superpower.
