Tygart, the leader of the U.S. anti-doping effort, says nothing short of removing the Russian flag from this summer's Olympics would suffice if an upcoming report about Russian doping is as damning as expected. The World Anti-Doping Agency commissioned an investigation, being headed by Richard McLaren, into Russian doping following a New York Times story in May that detailed a state-run system that helped athletes get away with cheating and win medals at the Sochi Olympics in 2014. The McLaren report is due Friday, July 15, 2016, with public release set for next Monday. (AP Photo/Geert Vanden Wijngaert, File)
