Top level sports as a matter of conflict between international and Russian sporting communities

Recently, the outstanding achievements of Russian athletes have not been challenged. However, the doping scandal, which began with the All-Russian Athletics Federation, greatly damaged the reputation of the national sport. It was the cause of the suspension for many athletes. The report contained allegations of massive and systematic concealment of doping Russian athletes.
