MOSCOW (Sputnik) — In late 2014 and later in March 2016, ARD showed a three-part-documentary "The Doping Secret: How Russia Creates Champions" claiming systematic doping use by Russian athletes. Following the release of the film, World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) launched an investigation into the allegations of doping abuse in Russian sports.

In November 2015, WADA presented a report, accusing Russia of numerous breaches of global anti-doping regulations and recommended the country be banned from international athletics competitions, which then led to the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) suspension from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

The question of whether to allow Russian athletes to participate in Rio Olympics 2016 will be decided by IAAF in Vienna on June 17.
