MOSCOW, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – The Court of Arbitration
for Sport (CAS) has issued a life ban against doctor Sergei Portugalov, the alleged mastermind of doping in Russian track and field, Russia’s athletics federation said Monday.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recommended in a 2015 report that
Portugalov take no part in any state sports programme after he was found to
have supplied athletes with banned performance-enhancing drugs.
CAS did not immediately confirm the ban.
