Anyway, not sure it makes much sense to disregard a complete report because the details in regards to three athletes is off. It's not like they were found guilty when in fact they were innocent. There are still 640 other cases to look at.
Due to time constraints with the Olympics so close to the horizon, I'm sure there are other small mistakes to be found, but lets not shoot the messenger.
The sportsmen who for several years worked hard and devoted all their time one goal - compete at the Olympics - could be unfairly robbed.

I assume you mean the sportsmen from countries where they don't use drugs - they're the ones being robbed.

Likely, unlikely... How do you know? Nobody still cared to give any worth evidence. All only keep repeating like mantra about Russian doping.
For me the most likely thing is that most of the US team sit on doping. Considering the latest revealed facts that the dozens top US athletes including the 4-times Rio gold medalist Simone Biles used the doping drugs regularly since 2010.
Those drugs that Williams sisters and Simone Biles were using are in the WADA's banned list as performance enhancing drugs. Even if it's for legit medical reasons if it gives them a huge advantage they shouldn't be allowed to compete. Take it to the extreme, someone without legs using a motorized wheelchair to compete in a marathon.
If the drug is in the banned list - it is not allowed to Everybody. It's plain and simple.
Maria Sharapova is still not allowed to compete for using Meldonium which is not performance enhancing medicine, even NHL officially allowed Meldonium. At the same time Serena and Vinus Williams have been taking very strong drugs - I wonder what they were diagnosed and who were the doctors that made those medical prescriptions.
If all is legal why then the facts, that the US athletes use doping, are kept secret by USADA?

Sharapova, and many other athletes (many Russian, some not) took drugs and were NOT honest with WADA about it. How is there any comparison here?
