Though the reports did not directly say that other sports in Russia were participating in illegal activities to the level that track and field was, the article put a spotlight on all sports in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>That cast a shadow over Russia at the FINA world championships in August, where several swimmers who had tested positive for banned drugs in the past 18 months \u2013 including 100 breast champion <strong>Yuliya Efimova<\/strong> &#8212; were cleared to compete.<\/p>\n<p>Pound\u2019s commission was created to independently investigate the allegations set forth by a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FKaiY9y7Gxg\" target=\"_blank\"> German television program<\/a> that first suggested illegal actions in Russia concerning doping. But the commission did take on any other sports besides track and field, so its findings stayed within one sport while publishing the disclaimer that \u201cthere are reliable indications that sports in Russia, other than athletics, are affected by doping. The IC wishes to make it clear that, in its considered view, Russia is not the only country, nor athletics the only sport, facing the problem of orchestrated doping in sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Russian government was also in the crosshairs by the WADA Commission. It did not have any written proof that Russia\u2019s government was being duplicitous in its drug-testing actions, but added that &#8220;it would be naive in the extreme to conclude that activities on the scale discovered could have occurred without the explicit or tacit approval of Russian governmental authorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The commission put the spotlight on <strong>Mariya Savinova-Farnosova<\/strong> and <strong>Ekaterina Poistogova<\/strong>, who won gold and bronze in the 800 meters at the 2012 Olympics. The commission claims to have testimony that the two regularly took illegal substances in training and before competitions, and the two were taught how to cheat the system by their respective coaches. Their non-participation in interviews with the commission further confirmed the commission\u2019s claim that the two were hiding a lengthy doping past.<\/p>\n<p>The commission blasted the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RADA) and the Russian athletics federation for essentially looking the other way while Savinova-Farnosova, Poistogova and other athletes routinely took drugs to gain an unfair advantage over their competitors. That was one step that led the commission to call for sanctions on RADA and the athletics federation.<\/p>\n<p>This should surely put pressure on\u00a0<strong>Cornel Marculescu<\/strong>, FINA&#8217;s Executive Director, to revisit his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/255313484\/FINA-Reply\" target=\"_blank\">earlier statement <\/a>to John Leonard of the American Swim Coaches Association when Marculescu said, &#8220;<span class=\"a\">I would like to confirm that we have excellent working relations with\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"a\">RUSADA and we co-ordinate with them our doping control program in Russia.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The WADA report includes testimonies from several witnesses that claim government agents that were not under the employ of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RADA) were often present to monitor drug testing. The presence of the government agents, the report claims, removed any semblance of \u201cintegrity\u201d in the testing process. The report also states that witnesses believed the various drug testing facilities were under surveillance by the Russian government.<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight of the report includes testimony that the director of one of Russia\u2019s top drug testing laboratories, <strong>Grigory Rodchenkov<\/strong>, was \u201cat the heart of the positive drug test coverup\u201d by overseeing the destruction of more than 1,000 doping samples last December before an official WADA visit, and accepted bribes to make it happen. In an interview earlier this year with the WADA commission, Rodchenkov admitted to destroying the samples, but said he did it to clean up the laboratory and remove any samples he believed were not needed.<\/p>\n<p>Rodchenkov\u2019s actions were just part of what the WADA Commission called \u201ca fundamentally flawed\u00a0mindset that is deeply ingrained in all levels of Russian athletics.\u201d The findings, based on interviews with many unnamed sources, led the commission to recommend that the Russian athletics federation receive a suspension and its athletes not be allowed to compete.<\/p>\n<p>The commission did not explicitly recommend that Russia not be allowed to compete in track and field events at the Rio Olympics, but the recommendations set forth by the commission to bring the Russia Anti-Doping Agency and the Russian athletics federation back to being \u201ccompliant\u201d with the WADA Code of Conduct could take more than a year to complete. That includes a report by RADA that will identify the areas that need a comprehensive overhaul, and that the Russian athletics federation remove any officials, coaches and athletes who were part of unethical actions.<\/p>\n<p>The World Anti-Doping Executive Committee meets next week in Colorado Springs, where the results of the Independent Committee\u2019s report will likely be reviewed and its actions taken into consideration. <strong>Sebastian Coe<\/strong>, the head of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), said he will push for a ban of Russian athletics that will keep them out of the Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Russian athletics federation, <strong>Vadim Zelichenok<\/strong>, told The Associated Press that the federation has been working to clean up the organization since the alleged cover-up actions took place. That includes a restructuring of the management, which he hopes will convince the IAAF to not place a ban on the federation.<\/p>\n<p><a
