Wada's Operation Lims: 302 sanctions against Russian athletes after Moscow lab data seizure
The World Anti-Doping Agency has concluded Operation Lims, imposing 302 sanctions against 291 Russian athletes following the 2019 seizure of Moscow laboratory data. Weightlifting (107 athletes) and athletics (93) were the most affected sports, with 23 anti-doping organisations involved. The investigation, which revealed manipulated data leading to Russia's four-year ban in 2019, is described by Wada as the most successful anti-doping investigation in history.
