Jarrion Lawson's is free to compete once again after his legal team was able to show that Christiane Ayotte, the head of the WADA-accredited doping control lab at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique in Laval, Quebec, lied while testifying during his case.

Coleman was cleared after a careful reading of the WADA rules. But had one of his tests begun just one minute earlier, he could have been staring at a two-year ban.

How do you prove something you ate over a year ago was contaminated with a substance banned for athletes -- but not for cattle? That's what Lawson, who in 2016 joined Jesse Owens as the only men in history to win the 100 meters, 200 meters, and long jump at the NCAA championship and came inches shy of Olympic gold, must do to prove his innocence and save his career.

The good, the bad, and the ugly from the WADA report.

Don't have time to read all 323-pages of the blockbuster report? Don't worry. We've got you covered with the 12 best points.

Dick Pound says there is systematic doping in Russia and has recommended that Russia be banned from international athletics competition including the 2016 Olympics. We'll be posting the highlights, but the full 323-page PDF report is embedded here.

“The IAAF did more than others, before the others, but is now criticized by people, who have no insight into the work of IAAF, for not having done enough. Regrettably, I did not hear any criticism against the many sports and anti-doping organisations who have never implemented a robust blood testing programme as part of their anti-doping programme. This is highly unfair to the IAAF, an institution which should be regarded in high esteem for its countless efforts and investment, throughout its history, to tackle doping in athletics in the most efficient and intelligent way."

WADA officials said they "delpore" the method the blood data was obtained and reiterated that values from before 2009 could not be used to determine doping and that one suspicious value doesn't necessarily prove doping.

The Sunday Times reports that Alberto Salazar ordered his Nike Oregon Project athletes thousands of dollars of L-carnitine supplements and experimented with injecting L-carnitine on coach Steve Magness. We break it down.

LRC's Weldon Johnson corrects the record on Alberto Salazar's comments from 1999, "I believe that it is currently difficult to be among the top 5 in the world in any of the distance events without using EPO or Human Growth Hormone" and points out what Alberto said had changed from 1999 to 2012.
