David Walsh believes the Wada report on doping could lead to athletics being banned from Rio 2016

Monday November 9th is set to be a landmark day in the fight against drugs in sport.

This lunchtime, the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) will release a report which allege that former IAAF president Lamine Diack accepted bribes and backhanders to cover up positive doping tests. The 325-page report specifically focuses on widespread doping and cover-ups in Russian athletics and will document "a whole different scale of corruption" than the Fifa scandals according to its co-author Richard McLaren. The effects of the report are likely to be wide-reaching, with Russia potentially set to be expelled from the Rio Games next summer. But leading journalist David Walsh, one of a select few who can claim responsibility for bringing down Lance Armstrong, believes the shock waves could go even further than that. https://twitter.com/DavidWalshST/status/663642968285437952 https://twitter.com/DavidWalshST/status/663645336980856832 It's hard to imagine an Olympic Games without athletics, but maybe the problem is so bad that the sport needs to be re-booted and started again?
