Senior Russian sports officials have admitted to "some unacceptable manipulations of the anti-doping system" and the existence of a "systemic doping scheme" in a letter to international sports leaders.
After the letter arrived, Craig Reedie, president of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), told a press conference: "My first look at it is that they are getting closer to acknowledging that there was an error."
- Appropriate actions -
=======================
The three signatories insist they had no knowledge of the doping but said: "We confirm that appropriate actions have been taken against the individuals involved in the operation of the systematic doping scheme including ensuring that such individuals no longer have any role in or influence over Russia's anti-doping effort."
