Russia is blaming the World Anti-Doping Agency's star witness for modifying key laboratory data. His lawyer says that's nonsense.

The Russian Investigative Committee, a major law enforcement agency, alleges that former Moscow anti-doping laboratory director Grigory Rodchenkov remotely changed test results from abroad after fleeing to the United States in 2015.

Since leaving Russia, Rodchenkov has become a key witness for WADA, which ruled this month that the doping data -- known as the LIMS database -- was doctored to protect Russian athletes who failed drug tests while the data was in the custody of the IC. WADA this month banned Russia from next year's Tokyo Olympics over the data manipulation, though Russian athletes can still compete as neutrals.

Her statement also doesn't address another key WADA claim, that false messages implicating Rodchenkov in corruption were spliced into the data archive.
