McKenzie Lake Lawyer, Richard McLaren leads investigation commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency

We would like to recognize McKenzie Lake Lawyer, Richard McLaren, for his excellent work and leadership in the case against Grigory Rodchenkov, other Russian Olympic Officials, and the Russian secret service (FSB). The World Anti-Doping Agency requested an investigation, lead by McLaren, to uncover the alleged Russian Olympic doping scandal that occurred during the Sochi 2014 Games.

McLaren ordered that stored urine samples from Sochi 2014 that belonged to Russian Olympic athletes be sent to an anti-doping laboratory in London for a thorough investigation, where scratch marks around the neck of the bottles were discovered. The claim states the FSB assisted in the illegal tampering of urine samples, resulting in Russian athletes’ false negative.

McKenzie Lake would like to congratulate McLaren, whose work was imperative to uncovering the level of corruption within Russia’s sports ministry and the FSB. To read more about the case visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/36823453
