A new World Anti-Doping Agency report alleges that the Russian federation enabled the use of performance-enhancing drugs among its athletes and took steps to cover it up. The findings could lead to the suspension of Russian athletes at future international meets.

American Alysia Montaño might also be awarded the 2012 Olympic bronze medal in the 800 meters if the two Russian runners who placed ahead of her are given lifetime bans.

Here, elite runners and other key figures in the sport react to the news on Twitter.

The original claims were that 1/3 of the medalists in distance events were doping. I would venture to say it's double that — Nick Willis (@nickwillis) November 9, 2015

It's good to hear about WADA suggesting Russia be suspended. Unfortunately, I think it's only the tip of the iceberg. #CleanSport #Progress — Mike Rutt (@Mike_Rutt) November 9, 2015

Will be interesting to see if the corruption/extortion extends beyond Russia. They may be a bad case, but hardly have exclusivity on doping — Ross Tucker (@Scienceofsport) November 8, 2015
