Russia has confirmed that it will appeal its four-year Olympic ban for manipulating doping data.
The Russian anti-doping agency, known as RUSADA, sent a formal letter Friday disagreeing with the sanctions imposed earlier this month by the World Anti-Doping Agency. The case is now heading to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
RUSADA said it "disputes the notice in its entirety," including the evidence of tampering with the data archive. The data was handed over in January and was meant to clear up past coverups, but has led to more legal tussles.
