DOHA: The head of Russian anti-doping agency RUSADA has called for a full overhaul in the country's sports management that would include the dismissal of state officials involved in an ongoing doping scandal, a letter seen by Reuters shows.

RUSADA was reinstated by the World Anti-Doping Agency last year after having been suspended since 2015 over evidence it was enabling drug cheats in athletics rather than stopping them. The laboratory data, which is not under RUSADA's jurisdiction, is needed to open doping cases from major events including the 2014 Sochi Olympics, where anti-doping officials said Russian authorities took part in an elaborate scheme to cover up doping tests.
