SportsWho is drug testing Russia's athletes as they return to international competition?

DW found that only four of Russia's 16 weightlifters at this year's world championships had undergone ITA out-of-competition tests during the first nine months of 2026. The agency said it tested all 16 before the event. Athlete advocates called the lack of earlier testing concerning, while WADA said Russia remains under scrutiny amid its doping history.
