More than 300 sanctions have been handed to Russian athletes following the seizure of Moscow laboratory data in 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) says.

The body has now concluded its investigation, dubbed Operation Lims, with 291 athletes sanctioned - and 302 sanctions imposed.

Competitors from 22 sports have been punished by 23 different anti-doping organisations, with weightlifting (107 athletes) and athletics (93) the most frequently sanctioned.

Eleven athletes have received sanctions for multiple violations, while four further cases have been charged but not resolved, with the final judgement still awaited.

Felice Giangregorio, 38, is provisionally suspended after testing positive for recombinant erythropoietin (EPO), Italian anti-doping authorities confirmed.

The case is significant because Giangregorio, a top performer on the Italian circuit, previously served a four-year ban after a positive test in October 2019, also for EPO. The story was first reported on Gran Fondo Daily.

It is the latest doping scandal to hit the thriving amateur racing scene.
