schema:articleBody	Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren will lead a doping probe into the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and its president Tamas Ajan, the organisation's executive board announced on Monday. McLaren led an investigation of state-sponsored doping in Russia in 2016 and will now look into the claims by Germany's ARD television network in January alleging rampant corruption at the IWF. ARD alleged a "culture of corruption" in the Olympic sport with prominent weightlifters rarely subjected to drugs tests and cash bribes to doping controllers to accept manipulated urine samples. Beyond doping, the documentary accused the IWF of transferring $5 million in International Olympic Committee funding into two Swiss accounts overseen only by Ajan. The documentary also said IWF chiefs, including Ajan, were guilty of nepotism, financial irregularities, corruption, and widespread doping activities. Ajan stepped down in late January for a 90-day period claiming the documentary's allegations were unfounded. The 81-year-old Hungarian has been at the IWF since 1976, serving 24 years as general secretary and the past 20 as president. "We need someone who is not a friend of weightlifting to look into these serious and historic allegations," said IWF acting president Ursula Garza Papandrea, an American, on the body's website. "If we are to get to the bottom of this, we required an investigator whose findings will be trusted and undeniable. That is why we selected Professor McLaren." McLaren has led probes in Formula 1 racing, tennis, cricket, baseball and was appointed by world anti-doping body WADA to investigate international doping in 2014. "As independent investigators we intend to follow every lead with the ultimate objective of uncovering the truth," McLaren said. ebe/jr/dmc/pb/mw
