The All-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF) elected its acting president Dmitri Shliakhtin as its new president, at the federation’s conference in Moscow, Friday.
“It’s the first moment in post-Soviet history, when we had real, honest and democratic elections in the federation, and it says that the athletics family has made a huge breakthrough,” the newly-elected president said.
Earlier on Friday, Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren revealed the second part of a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-commissioned report into an alleged state-run Russian doping system. McLaren’s report says that Russia’s alleged doping system involved over 1,000 athletes and had become "institutionalised." The Russian Sports Ministry has denied McLaren’s allegations.
