    　　2017考研英语拓展阅读：俄罗斯运动员卷入有组织兴奋剂丑闻
    A second investigation commissioned by theWorld Anti-Doping Agencyhas
revealed that more than 1,000 athletes were involved in a state-run doping
system in Russia.
    由世界反兴奋剂机构指定的第二次调查结果披露，超过1000名俄罗斯运动员涉嫌从其国家资助的兴奋剂计划中受益。
    The findings come in the second part of an investigation by Canadian lawyer
Richard McLaren, who announced the results of his inquiry in London on
Friday.
    这个结果来自于加拿大国际体育律师麦克拉伦进行的调查的第二部分，星期五，他在伦敦公布了该发现。
    His second report – which comes after WADA extended his mandate in July –
confirmed the findings of the first report while revealing more about a system
of covering up tests that was refined over time.
    世界反兴奋剂机构在今年7月任命麦克拉伦对此事进行调查，他的这第二份报告确认了第一份报告的结果，同时也披露了系统性的掩盖了测试结果，且随着时间的手法愈加纯熟。
    “The results of the forensic and laboratory analysis initiated by my team
established the conspiracy that was perpetrated between 2011 and 2015,” McLaren
said. “It is impossible to know how deep and how far back a conspiracy goes. For
years, international sports competitions have unknowingly been hijacked by the
Russians. Coaches and athletes have been playing on an uneven field. Sports fans
and spectators have been deceived.”
    麦克拉伦表示，“由我的团队开创的鉴定以及实验室分析的结果，确认了俄罗斯在2011至2015年间的阴谋。我们无从知晓这个阴谋走的有多深，有多远。多年来，国际赛事不知不觉中都被俄罗斯人“劫持”了。教练、运动员们都在不公平的赛场上比赛。粉丝和观众们都被欺骗了。”
    Most notably, he said more than1,000 Russian Olympians and Paralympians –
in summer and winter sports – were identified “as being involved in or
benefiting from manipulation to conceal positive doping tests.”
    更令人吃惊的是，他说，有超过1000名俄罗斯奥运会和残奥会运动员——在夏奥会和冬奥会上——曾“从兴奋剂操纵阴谋中获益，掩盖了阳性测试结果”。
    “The Russian Olympic team corrupted the London Games on an unprecedented
scale, the extent of which will probably never be fully established,” McLaren
said. “This corruption involved the ongoing use of prohibited substances,
washout testing and false reporting.
    “在2012伦敦奥运上，俄罗斯奥运代表队兴奋剂违规规模前所未有，其影响之大也许永远无法被估算。其行为包括持续使用禁用药物，冲刷测试以及伪造报告等。”麦克拉伦说。
    “The desire to win medals superseded their collective moral and ethical
compass and Olympic values of fair play.”
    “赢得金牌的欲望超越了他们的集体道德、道德取向以及公平竞争的奥林匹克价值观。”
