The decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) this week to lift, subject to certain conditions, a ban on Russia's anti-doping authority (Rusada) has been met by an almost unanimous chorus of disapproval from around the world.
Rusada was suspended in 2015 following allegations of widespread state-sponsored doping.
Here is how the news has been received.
IM Walden, lawyer for Russian whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov, said in a statement: "Wada's decision to reinstate Russia represents the greatest treachery against clean athletes in Olympic history. The US is wasting its money by continuing to fund Wada, which is obviously impotent to address Russia's state-sponsored doping.
"The only way to stem the tide of Russian corruption is for [the US] Congress to pass the Rodchenkov anti-doping act, which will give the department of justice the necessary tools to put those engaged in doping fraud behind bars, where they belong."
InakI Gomez, chair of the IAAF Athletes' Commission, on Twitter: "Not surprising . yet, to say I'm disappointed is a huge understatement. I stand by my comments: 'the reinstatement of Rusada, given the softening of the demand that Russia accept the findings of the McLaren Report, will tarnish Wada's reputation and bring sport into disrepute'."
Paulina Tomczyk, general secretary of EU athletes, on Twitter: "Among other things it highlights that athletes have absolutely no voice in anti-doping. Athletes around the world need to organise in independent organisations and unions to be able to change this failing system."
Nicole Sapstead, UK anti-doping chief executive: "The outcome of today's Wada meeting is deeply troubling for clean sport. Wada has cast aside its responsibilities to clean athletes, sports fans and those who work tirelessly for clean sport."..
