It, among other things, details over 300 falsified tests to allow drug-positive Russian athletes, not only through their Sochi Homophobe-lympics "triumph", but at least through last year's World Swimming Championships.
The report alleges any positive test would be reported to Russian governmental officials, and the results falsified. Three-quarters of these falsifications occurred in track and field and wrestling. The Russian track and field team has been disqualified from the Rio Games already.
And this wasn't even the methodology they used at Sochi, the report continues. Russian officials actually broke into the drug area and swapped clean urine from the athletes with the dirty urine during the competition.
The Deadspin report does not outline possible suggestions, but another report on the situation does.
At least ten countries, including the United States (har har, that's a laugh! The only difference between the USA and Russia is that the government is probably not directly involved here.), have either already sent the IOC this suggestion or were considering it: The World Anti-Doping Association has called for full Olympic disqualification for Russia.
In their statement, WADA asks:
- For the complete disqualification of all Russian athletes from the Rio Games.
- For each individual sport to consider further sanctions as appropriate.
- Russian governmental agents are not to be allowed at international sporting events, including the Rio Olympics.
- The Russian Anti-Doping Agency, already declared non-compliant, to remain as such.
- A process of accreditation of a drug-testing lab in Moscow is to be halted.
- An investigation by FIFA (soccer athletes are involved, as is at least one member of the FIFA Executive Committee).
- Additional investigatory actions be completed by the authors of this report, should the money be found to allow them to do so.
