Furthermore, the IOC has called on WADA to extend the mandate of McLaren to communicate the names of Russian athletes implicated in the report and the alleged manipulation of the doping tests performed by the Sochi Laboratory to the respective IFs and, where appropriate, to the IOC, in order to "allow them to take swift action". 

 

This will be interesting and will likely be Russia's best hope to compete at the games

In short-term means yes, but long-term?

If McLaren has enough time to reveal everything, this will be even worse for Russia. In his report he already said, that he could only scratch the surface of all issues because of lack of time.

There is a story in the Russian press about a draft letter from the head of the US Anti-Doping Travis Tygart.

The letter was due to be released after the release of the McLaren Report but has been leaked.

It says that USADA "request the removal of the Russian team from both the Rio Olympics and Paralympics" because "the McLaren report has proven Russia has broken the Olympic Charter and the rules of the IOC and WADA".

It goes to say that it has proved the Russian Ministry of Sport and other parts of the Russian government interfered with the anti-doping system.

If this is genuine (and we don't know know it is yet) then this story just got very, very serious for Russia.

This would fit to a short statement of ARD which says that ARD has information about the McLaren report. It will confirm that they cheated with support of Russian Ministry of sport.

Also Sport1.de writing about Tygart's letter.

Thx, Dragon.

Klishina seems to be cleared to start as neutral athlete in Rio.
