Investigator McLaren unfazed by 'nitpicking'

LAUSANNE, Switzerland - Doping investigator Richard McLaren has defended his report into orchestrated Russian doping from what he called "nitpicking".

Recent comments by sports bodies, including the International Olympic Committee, refer to inadequate translations of Russian documents and the likelihood some disciplinary cases against implicated athletes will fail.

"If you can't attack the base then let's go and attack the periphery," McLaren said in an interview on Monday.
