• Letter sent to Wada signed by top Olympic and Paralympic stars
• Russia’s potential reinstatement to be discussed next week
British athletes have sent an unprecedented letter to the World Anti-Doping Agency warning it will be a “catastrophe for clean sport” if Russia is brought in from the cold at a crucial executive board meeting next week.
The letter from UK Anti-Doping’s athlete commission, which is signed by several top Olympic and Paralympic stars including Lizzy Yarnold and Callum Skinner, also warns Wada that a U-turn would leave athletes “no longer having faith in the system”.
