The shocking news of these days, and particularly those contained in the 323-page report released yesterday by WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, leave us loss of worlds.

Marcia dal Mondo endorses the words of the President of FIDAL Alfio Giomi appeared on the website of Fidal:

"It’s a complex story that, as it turns out, seems to have long and very dark shadows on themselves. Now, thanks to WADA, it is important to bring clarity to the bottom of this serious scandal that hurts not only athletics, but in any sport. The IAAF is at a crossroads, but from our side there is full confidence in President Sebastian Coe and the hard work that has to deal with."

Meanwhile, WADA has provisionally suspended the anti-doping laboratory in Moscow, while the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejects the accusations of "doping of the state."
