Russia shuts Moscow lab after doping report: Russian anti-doping chief (Reuters)

A Moscow laboratory used for doping tests has stopped operating after its accreditation was suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the head of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency, Nikita Kamaev, said on Tuesday. Kamaev, responding to allegations of widespread doping among Russian athletes, urged commentators to distinguish between the laboratory and Russia’s anti-doping agency, which he said was acting “in full compliance with the demands of the WADA codex”.
