CBS Report: Russian Gold Medalists Used Steroids At Sochi Olympics

CBS News said that "the former head of Russia's drug testing laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov has told whistleblower Vitaly Stepanov that at least four of Russia's gold medal winners at the 2014 Winter Olympics were using steroids," according to Mark Lamport-Stokes of REUTERS. Stepanov, who previously worked for Russia's anti-doping agency and is now living in the U.S., told "60 Minutes" that Rodchenkov "had evidence of the use of banned substances at the Games in Sochi, Russia." The World Anti-Doping Agency said the body was aware that Sunday's program would "include content regarding further doping allegations." WADA spokesperson Ben Nichols said, "We will watch the program with interest. We will not comment further until we have viewed the program in full." Russia "is already banned from all track and field competitions, including August's Rio Olympics" (REUTERS, 5/7).
