The World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) executive committee ended a three-year-suspension which followed a major doping scandal. Leading athletes, anti-doping bodies and Wada's vice-president Linda Helleland had opposed the move. Wada said it had assurances from the Russian sports ministry, saying the country had "acknowledged" failures.
