21st June 2019

The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) confirms that it has received from World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) the data from the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) of the Moscow Laboratory in respect of samples analysed in Athletics in the period 2012 to August 2015.

The data package handed over to AIU representatives on 18 June contains approximately 110,000 files in total including all underlying raw data generated from analysis of the samples.

The AIU will start analysing the LIMS data immediately with a view to reporting its findings to the IAAF Council in due course.

Whilst the AIU is committed to making every effort to complete its review of the data as soon as possible, it is not in a position to say how long the exercise will take.

No further comment will be made at this time.
