WADA say ‘successfully retrieved’ doping data from Moscow lab

PARIS: World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said Thursday that they have “successfully retrieved” data from the Moscow laboratory at the heart of Russia’s state-sponsored doping scandal which involved more than 1,000 athletes and 30 sports.

The world anti-doping agency had demanded the data be handed over to complete its investigation into the 2011-2015 scandal.

“A three-person WADA  expert team has successfully retrieved the data from the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and the underlying analytical data generated by the former Moscow Laboratory in Russia,” said a WADA statement.

“The data are crucial to build strong cases against cheats and exonerate other athletes suspected of having participated in widespread doping.”
