(Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has welcomed the recognition by Russian President Vladimir Putin that his country's doping system was not working and needed an overhaul.

WADA released late last year the second part of Richard McLaren's investigation into doping in the country, which concluded there had been state-sponsored systematic doping and cover-ups in Russian sport over a five-year period.
