A team of World Anti-Doping Agency experts had access for the first time to the Moscow drug-testing laboratory on Wednesday, the Russian Sports Ministry announced.
The visit was to prepare access to data and control samples dating back to the period, from 2011 to 2015 which has brought Russia bans for institutional doping.
WADA has made access to the lab a condition of the continued reinstatement of Russian doping agency RUSADA.
"As part of our agreements with WADA, the meeting of the technical expert group was held to discuss methods and mechanisms of sample transfer," said the Ministry of Sports in an announcement reported by Russian agency TASS.
"The experts presented their vision of what needed to happen," the statement said.
"As agreed, they had access to the laboratory."
