The harshly criticized president of the World Anti-Doping Agency is defending the decision to reinstate Russia’s suspended drug-fighting operation, calling it the best way to get much-needed doping data out of a country that manipulated the system to win Olympic medals. In a call with reporters Monday, Reedie insisted that Russia’s agreement to hand over samples and data that could corroborate up to 2,800 doping cases puts a hard deadline of Dec. 31 on a process that was going nowhere.
