The judgement to recover her appearance fees and prize money for the 2010 and 2011 races needs enforcing by Russia.

Why was the report commissioned?

The country's government has repeatedly denied the claims.
Rodchenkov, now in hiding in the United States, also alleges he doped athletes before the 2012 Olympics in London, the 2013 World Athletics Championships in Moscow and the 2015 World Swimming Championships in Kazan.

Hey .. which country doesn't send in 100% proof super saturated steroid athletes. Did every Chinese Olympiad just duck under cover?Have I got this right?
The case against the Russian governments complicity is based solely on the word of one chap?
The chap who claims he used to do the fiddling of the tests and has since defected from Russia and now lives and wants to remain in the US? He's bartering this information as a kind of 'Let me in to your country I'm a good guy' kind of bargaining plea.

Never mind the Russians and their dope, what about hyperandrogenism ?I was reading a very long article on FB this morning about Caster Semenya and 'her' levels of testosterone.
I believe she's competing in the 800 meters ... my friend's DIL (who will be in this coming Olympics) won't stand a chance.
