MOSCOW - The Athletics Integrity Unit on Thursday charged the Russian athletics federation with"serious breaches" of anti-doping rules, including obstructing an investigation.

British newspaper The Sunday Times ran a story in September alleging that Rusaf officials had fabricated documents to show that Lysenko, the 2017 world silver medallist, was too ill to provide his whereabouts after failing to make himself available for out-of-competition drug testing. "We only received the documents today . Our lawyers are studying the circumstances of the matter and the charges that have been brought. The ban is provisional, the inquiry is ongoing and the details are confidential," Ioukhareva said.
