COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The leader of the World Anti-Doping Agency's athlete committee is asking the agency to expand the investigation into Russian doping beyond track and field.

Beckie Scott, an Olympic champion cross-country skier for Canada, says she's approached by athletes around the world who wonder why the probe hasn't involved all Russian sports.

A report released last week by a WADA-appointed independent commission detailed corruption inside Russia's anti-doping program and its track team.

The report made clear that Russia shouldn't be singled out as the only country with anti-doping issues, nor should track be singled out as the only sport with those problems.

WADA president Craig Reedie told Scott the agency needs to investigate all sports around the world but needs to figure out how to pay for it.
