The WADA and the FBI cite two recent documentaries as instrumental in overcoming bureaucratic friction and driving forward existing and new investigations.
The docs can be found on youtube here:

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko response:

The International Olympic Committee has acknowledged the grave charges and deflected blame to The World Anti-Doping Agency, but experts agree WADA is underfunded. In a separate investigation WADA just suspended Kenya's domestic drug testing.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Council will ultimately decide if Russian athletes can participate in Rio when they meet next month.

The athletes have responded by calling the accusations an absurd "april joke" and by attacking the whistle blower.
In the OP article the whistle blower, (Rodchenkov) is quoted as saying,
>All athletes are like small children. They’ll put anything you give them into their mouths.
A Kremlin spokesman denied high-level government involvement and characterized Rodchenkov as a libelous turncoat.
Following Sochi Rodchenkov received the Russian Order of Friendship for Putin personally.

What's more concerning are the mysterious deaths of two of Rodchenkov's colleagues in the same month, and after the WADA recommended their dismissal.

The spotlight is now on the allegedly tamper-proof bottles. Rodchenkov recommended WADA investigate the "B bottles" for scratch marks around the lip and for traces of table salt.
The bottles are $15 US each, made in Switzerland, and made a good impression on experts, but Rodchenkov implies FSB "wizards" may have had a hand in the operation.

If FSB is involved then it's clear that the Kremlin is the black heart of Russian athletics.
