On November 9, an independent commission set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed widespread use of performance enhancing drugs and blood doping by Russian track and field athletes, which were encouraged and covered-up by coaches, doctors, and state and sports officials.
The report also found that over 1,400 lab samples were intentionally destroyed by officials in a Moscow laboratory after WADA asked for their preservation, and uncovered evidence showing that its director was taking cash to delay or taint doping tests.
During the investigation, the head of Russia's athletics federation tried to bar investigators from speaking to athletes, according to the report. It also states that many of the athletes and their coaches themselves refused to participate.
