MONTREAL - A discreet "mouse hole" through a wall, surreptitiously tampered samples using table salt and night-time visits by Russian secret service agents dubbed "the magicians". - 'Unique situation' -According to him, samples provided by athletes would pass through the "mouse hole" around midnight inside the supposedly secure Sochi laboratory into an adjacent "operations" room outside the secure perimeter. "The bank of clean urine sat in storage awaiting the swapping programme at Sochi when required." "The upshot of that meeting was that deputy minister Nagornykh resolved to call in the 'magicians'," the report said. "That night the FSB visited the laboratory and the next day samples were in the laboratory without their caps."
