MONTREAL: The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is to investigate Russian doping allegations relating to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, WADA said on Tuesday.
The allegations were broadcast on Sunday on CBS 60 minutes.
“WADA will probe these new allegations immediately,” WADA President Craig Reedie said in a statement.
“The claims made in the program offer real cause for concern, as they contain new allegations regarding attempts to subvert the anti-doping process at the Sochi Games.”
The WADA announcement followed a string of interviews, including one to Reuters, given by whistleblower Vitaly Stepanov.
