Russian inquiry finds cheating went beyond Sochi Olympics (Yahoo Sports)

An investigator looking into Russian doping found the country’s state-directed cheating program resulted in no fewer than 312 falsified results and lasted from 2011 through at least last year’s world swimming championships. The investigator, Richard McLaren, dubbed Russia’s program the ”disappearing positive methodology.” But he did not make any recommendations for the future of the Russian team at the Rio Olympics, saying it was up to others, including the International Olympic Committee, to ”absorb and act upon” the 97-page report released Monday.
