"C'' is a question about the Russian laboratory in which we are investigating" was the comment of stringatissimo John Fahey, the WADA president, and declared that it was a committee of inquiry into the'' accredited laboratory in Moscow.
Arne Ljungqvist, WADA vice president and head of the IOC medical commission, said "we know that there are problems, otherwise there would be no need to open a disciplinary procedure."
The Wada test the correct operation of laboratories sending them in secret "spy samples" be analyzed knowing whether they are negative or positive. If the results reported by the laboratory regarding these baits are different from those expected, automatically takes a'' survey.
It is in this way that the Wada'' has revoked the accreditation to the laboratory in Rio de Janeiro.
The laboratory of Moscow has performed drug testing of athletes committed during the World Athletics Championships in 2013 and should also be concerned at the Winter Olympics in Sochi via a satellite facility.
Regardless of the official statements, we must not forget what is published in early July by the Daily Mail. The British newspaper has created an'' investigation which would emerge from the laboratory of Moscow would have covered up positive cases of Russian athletes.
You will see in the coming weeks whether the investigation will lead to something, or if it will work in a soap bubble (blown up more or less artificially).
