The issue of doping in sport has been a concern since the 1920s
Russia should be suspended from athletics competition, a World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) commission report has recommended.
The independent commission examined allegations of doping, cover-ups, and extortion in Russian athletics, which also implicated the governing IAAF.
It also wants five athletes and five coaches to get lifetime doping bans.
The report also identified "systemic failures" in the IAAF that prevent an "effective" anti-doping programme.
In addition, it states the London 2012 Olympics were "sabotaged" by the "widespread inaction" against Russian athletes with suspicious doping profiles by the IAAF and the Russian athletics federation.
