Russian doping mastermind benefited from London 2012 drugs ‘preview’
The mastermind behind the Russian doping programme has revealed that he was able to corrupt the London 2012 Olympics only because he was invited to Britain by organisers and shown how they planned to catch cheats.
Grigory Rodchenkov, who ran the Moscow anti-doping laboratory from 2005 to 2015, has admitted that without this knowledge the Russian doping situation would have “collapsed†long before he fled the country two years ago.
“You can imagine how important the information from the London laboratory is for the Russian national team,†he says in the forthcoming film, Icarus. “I had information of what this laboratory was doing to understand where we are – and how much is danger. Without this, all Russian doping situation will be collapsed.â€

Ryan Lochte cleared of all charges from 2016 incident in Rio de Janeiro
A Brazilian appeals court ruled Thursday that Ryan Lochte had not broken the law by exaggerating about what happened during the gas station incident from the 2016 Olympics, according to USA Today Sports.
Lochte was charged with falsely communicating a crime because of an interview he did with NBC in which he said he and three other members of the United States swim team were robbed at gun point at a gas station while returning to the Olympic Village.
The court decided that Lochte had not broken the law because Rio police instigated the investigation, not Lochte, according to USA Today Sports. They add that the decision has not been published yet and prosecutors will have 15 days to appeal the ruling.

Deaf swimmer shines light on technology that could change future of the sport
The lights glow in sequence, almost rhythmic as they cycle through. Blinking red flashes and then a steady red accompany the “on the block†command. Blue illuminates to tell swimmers to “take their mark.†Green means go — and that is triggered by the pool’s starting system.
Gallaudet University rising senior Faye Frez-Albrecht focuses on the colors inches from her face and practices her start to swim the backstroke.
Frez-Albrecht is deaf and legally blind. For the past two years, after she was disqualified from a meet because she did not make it to the starting blocks in time, Frez-Albrecht and her coach have led an effort to remove the competitive disadvantages athletes who are deaf and hard of hearing face in swim meets. The LED tube lights, tested repeatedly in the pool at Gallaudet, have been approved by the NCAA for use at the start of competitive races starting with the 2017-18 academic year.
It’s a victory for deaf swimmers competing in college, but Frez-Albrecht ultimately may be known as the swimmer who changed how the sport starts its races. Not only does the innovative light system make it possible for deaf swimmers to get a fair shot, it helps all swimmers improve their start times.
Light, after all, travels faster than sound.
