Earlier this morning Richard McLaren and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) released his second Independent Person report, which expanded on his first reports findings of a state-wide run doping system.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) released a statement shortly after the release of the report, finding the results of the report to be both “unprecedented and astonishing.”
Read the IPC’s full statement below:
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) would like to place on record our thanks and appreciation to Professor McLaren and his investigation team for completing their mandate.
The full findings of the report are unprecedented and astonishing. They strike right at the heart of the integrity and ethics of sport.
We wholeheartedly agree with Professor McLaren that the best course of action is to work together to fix the broken and compromised anti-doping system in Russia.
The recently appointed IPC Taskforce looks forward to working closely with our member the Russian Paralympic Committee to do just that.
