Russian athletics chief says WADA has no right to suspend his federation

(Yahoo Sports): Vadim Zelichenok, the acting head of the Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA), told Reuters on Monday that neither the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) nor the International Olympic Committee had the right to suspend Russia from world athletics. "It is only a recommendation," Zelichenok said, referring to a report from an independent commission set up by WADA which recommended that the Russian Athletics Federation be banned from the sport over widespread doping offences.
