One sample returned an adverse analytical finding with meldonium coupled with tuaminohetane, and one was stanozolol and nandrolone each, a WADA report posted on Wednesday reads.

A total of 2,947 tests were conducted on Russian athletes from November 18 until May 29, with 655 of those being done by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and 455 by UKAD.

Over 70% of those tests were conducted on athletes in summer Olympics sports.

It says that military cities were often used as the location of whereabouts. Doping control officers (DCOs) were intimidated when accessing the military cities; armed FSB agents were threatening DCOs with expulsion from the country.

WADA also reported about a case of tampering with sample collection procedures. "One athletics athlete used a container inserted inside her body (presumably containing clean urine). When she tried to use the container it leaked onto the floor and not into the collection vessel. The athlete threw the container into the trash which was retrieved by the DCO. The athlete also tried to bribe the DCO. Eventually the athlete provided a sample which subsequently returned an adverse analytical finding," it said.
