The world's leading anti-doping agencies are demanding that Russian athletes be banned from taking part in the Winter Olympics in South Korea in 2018, writes The Guardian.

Among the 17 anti-doping agencies of the world were the USA, Canada and the UK.

The fact that the British anti-doping agency among these 17 representatives calling for the exclusion of Russia is especially important given that this country took responsibility for testing in Russia at the beginning of 2016 a year and had not previously condemned Russian athletes.

“We have serious doubts that the 2018 Games will be fair due to the incomplete investigation into widespread doping by Russian athletes at the 2014 Sochi Olympics,” the statement said.

They believe Russia should be punished "for its proven violations at the 2014 Sochi Games and its continued failure to meet its clean sport commitments."

According to Air force, in December 2016, a team of experts led by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren released The second part of the report for the World Anti-Doping Agency on doping in Russian sport.

According to the report, more than a thousand Russian athletes participated in the manipulation of doping samples from 2011 to 2015 a year. The report mentioned more than 30 sports, where a large-scale doping system was organized with state support.

According to the independent experts who worked on the report, a large-scale system for the substitution of doping samples began to be created in Russia in 2011. The reason for this was the failure of the Russian team at the Olympic Games in Vancouver. The experts concluded that the methods have improved over time.

Russian officials categorically deny all the allegations contained in the McLaren report.
