Russia's anti-doping agency could face another suspension over manipulated data, a person familiar with the case tells AP. By epells.

WADA reinstated Russia’s anti-doping agency after gaining access to long-sought-after data that was to be used to confirm doping positives stemming from the country’s plans to cheat so athletes could win medals at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and other events. WADA’s compliance review committee is expected to present the information to the agency’s executive committee, which meets Monday in Tokyo. Track and field’s governing body, the IAAF, and the organization that handles its doping cases, the Athletics Integrity Unit , are also expected to review the information while in Doha, Qatar, next week for track world championships.
This latest news could lead to RUSADA again being deemed noncompliant, though the long-term repercussions of such a move are hard to gauge, especially with the IOC having placed Russia’s Olympic committee back in good standing after the Pyeongchang Olympics last year.
