Russia will not be stripped of the Under-18 World Championship in 2018, despite the McLaren Report, International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) President René Fasel has promised. 

The International Biathlon Union (IBU) has received the names of 31 Russian athletes implicated in the second part of the McLaren Report and a decision on possible sanctions could be made before the 2017 World Championships in Hochfilzen in February, according to the President of the worldwide governing body.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach's 121-word reaction to part two of the McLaren report contained some tough talk.

Richard McLaren’s 144-page report on Russian doping published last week was exactly what some sporting bodies have spent the past five months publicly calling for but privately hoping would never emerge: a smorgasbord of evidence implicating thousands of athletes which was damning yet also meticulous. In short, irrefutable proof that the world’s largest country was cheating not only to the level alleged, but to an even greater extent.

The World Olympians Association (WOA) has said that all athletes who commit a doping offence should be banned from the next edition of the Olympic Games and other major Championships.

Yelena Isinbayeva has called for "a line to be drawn" under allegations that Russia operated a state-sponsored doping scheme and called for it be re-admitted back to competition by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

Russian Olympic Committee President Alexander Zhukov has claimed that the Government has never been involved in a system to give athletes in the country banned drugs and help them avoid being caught but that they are prepared to cooperate fully with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following the publication yesterday of the McLaren Report. 

Following the release of his first report, Richard McLaren was the subject of criticism and scrutiny from those who claimed he had no proof.

All samples given by Russian athletes at London 2012 will be examined after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) extended the mandate of one of the Commissions looking into allegations of manipulation at Sochi 2014 in the wake of the damning findings revealed in the second part of the McLaren Report today.

Evidence found within part two of the McLaren Report will be discussed at a meeting of the new Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Board on December 15, insidethegames has been told.

More than 1,000 athletes across summer, winter and Paralympic sports were involved in a widespread state-sponsored doping system in Russia akin to an "institutional conspiracy", Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren has claimed when delivering the second part of his report here today.

Let’s begin by giving the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a little credit.

By storing Olympic athletes’ anti-doping samples for possible reanalysis for a number of years, in the knowledge that analytical methods will probably improve over time, the IOC has put in place a valuable tool that could, if utilised to fullest extent, afford periodic snapshots of the true level of doping in elite sport, albeit some years after the event.

Honorary International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Vitaly Smirnov claimed Russia "has never had a state-sponsored doping system" during a controversial progress update on the Russian Anti-Doping Agency’s (RUSADA) bid for re-compliance here today.

An extra $500,000 (£396,000/€460,000) funding will be given to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as long as Richard McLaren cooperates with their investigations into Russian doping, insidethegames can reveal.
