A major doping scandal involving the Russian track and field team came to light Thursday. Track and field's governing body provisionally suspending six Russian athletes after a long-running investigation.
Among those suspended is 25-year-old Yelena Soboleva, the world indoor record holder in the 1500 meters. The athletes are accused of fraudulently substituting urine.
Officials deliberately stored and then re-tested samples using "comparative DNA techniques" -- the suggestion being that the samples contained shared DNA, an obvious impossibility.
The IAAF carried out what it called a "specific investigation" for more than a year.
I love that they got busted!! Not only are they cheaters, but they are piss smugglers too!!
