## Biography

Richard McLaren is a Canadian lawyer and professor of law at Western University in Ontario, specialising in sports law.

He served on the independent panel commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency to investigate state-sponsored doping in Russian sport. His 2016 report detailed systematic subversion of drug-testing processes at the Sochi Olympics and led to sanctions against Russian athletes and officials.

McLaren appears as himself in the 2017 documentary *Icarus*, which examines the doping scandal and won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
