Russia doping: New Wada report reveals obstructions to testing
15 June 2016 Olympics
Anti-doping officials in Russia are being stopped from testing athletes and threatened by security services, says a World Anti-Doping Agency report.
The report was published two days before athletics' governing body rules on whether Russian competitors can take part in the Rio Olympics this summer.
In November, Russia's athletes were banned after a Wada report highlighted widespread failing in testing.
The country's athletics chiefs had pledged to make wholesale changes.
