No country hass ever been kicked out for doping violations. That is the recommendation by the world antidoping agency. The agency recently issuing a scathing report saying russia had been operating a fouryear, statesponsored doping program across the board. Including 30 different olympic sports from 2011 to 2015. The highest court of appeal in International Sports has already upheld a decision banning all russian track and field athletes from the rio games. Russian president putin saying the allegations are politically motivated and a western plot to undermine russia. The iocs president promising the toughest sanctions available.

First up peeking, michelle obama. And Bernie Sanders taking center stage. Mary, thank you. We want to move to the controversy brewing this morning on the eve of the convention. Wikileaks released thousands of emails from the dnc appearing to show favoritism toward Hillary Clinton. Could this create chaos on the Convention Floor among Bernie Sanders supporters . David wright joins us with more. Hi david. Reporter hi, paula. Just when Hillary Clinton was hoping to put the whole notion of an email controversy behind her, here comes an entirely different email controversy. And one that threatens the unity the democrats are hoping to show in philadelphia. Secretary clinton has won the democratic nominating process. Reporter the Clinton Campaign thought it successfully had put the bitter primary battle behind her. I cant help but reflect how much more enjoyable this election is going to be now that were on the same side. Reporter as the democrats get ready to start their convention, leaked emails from the Democratic National committee now show that sanders may have been right all along, when he claimed the party had its thumb on the scale for clinton all along. Rigged is when somebody changes the rules in the middle of the game. Reporter wikileaks leaked 20,000 emails from seven top dnc officials. Does he believe in a god . Wondered one official. He had skated on saying he has a jewish heritage. I think i read hes an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. Some dnc officials refer to sanders as the insurgency. The dnc chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman schultz called his Campaign Manager an [ bleep ]. Sanders made no secret his contempt for Wasserman Schultz. Telling cnn in may he would fire her. With all due respect to the current chairperson, if elected president , she would not be reelected to be chair of the dnc. Reporter according to the leaked emails, Wasserman Schultz decided not to respond to that, writing, this is a silly story. He isnt going to be president. Well, donald trump seems to be enjoying all this. Tweeting that the email release was so bad that sappeders for sanders that it will make it impossible for him to support says trump. Sanders former Campaign Manager says somebody has to be held accountable. No comment from the dnc. Were told that theyre in negotiations to signifantly downgrade Debbie Wasserman schultzs role. At the convention. Shes not speaking is she . She may be speaking. But probably, not so much. David, thank you. Thanks, david. Lets get out to abc news chief anchor George Stephanopoulos who will be hosting this week later this morning. Hes in philadelphia already. Good morning, sir. Good morning, guys. Hows it going . We have to talk about wikileaks. You have politicians calling on bernie to recuse his endorsement of clinton. Are you expecting chaos on the floor, like we saw at the Republican Convention last week . I think that is a little strong. There is a lot of upset here in philadelphia. No question about that. Those wikileaks emails are startling, when you read them. It sort of proves what a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters thought all along. I think you are definitely going to see some downgrading of Debbie Wasserman schultzs role. A lot of things being considered from getting a new ceremonial chairman to having her not speak in primetime. Its pretty clear sanders supporters would boo her pretty lustily if she appeared on the floor in prime time. Its something they have to work through today. There were long negotiations yesterday. Theyll continue through sunday. A complication the campaign did not need. How do you think the selection of tim kaine is going over . Were hearing rumbling from the left of the party. How problematic is that . They were not too happy with the idea of tim kaine. No question. His support of trade deals in the past. Hes recant his support of the transpacific partnership. They say he hasnt always been out front on the fight for things like gay rights. Hes prolife, though he supports a womans right to choose, as well. Hes against abortion. There have been questions in the Progressive Movement for tim kaine. Yesterday went a ways to quiet some of that criticism. Especially reaching out the latinos with all that talk in spanish at the event. Theres still some grumbling. A lot of people will key off how Bernie Sanders reacts to the pick. Well talk to him about that this morning on this week. Another big week for you, george. Best of luck. And a reminder, george will anchor this week this morning from philadelphia. As the democrats gear up for their convention. Also, well have complete coverage of the dnc all week. World news tonight. Nightline. Gma. All live from philadelphia.

He may have been immersing himself in the world of mass killings and looking for people he could emulate. Reporter the police also saying theres an obvious link between the munich attack and the fifth anniversary of the killings of 77 people by anders brevik. Most of them at a youth camp. He had allegedly hacked into a girls facebook account and tried to lure people there by saying, ill buy you something you want, but not too expensive. A Duke University senior, tamina stoll, was on her way to the center when people were fleeing. I could tell they were so scared. Reporter she ran upstairs and filmed the chaos from her grandmothers balcony. I cant even find words. Its just horrible. Reporter in all, nine people would be killed. Almost all of them teenagers. Before the attacker turned the gun on himself. His body found half a mile away from the scene with 300 more rounds in his backpack. Authorities are still trying to figure out how he got his hands on the gun. A glock 17, semiautomatic pistol. The same gun used by the attacker in the norwegian massacre. Now, germany has very strict gun control laws. He almost certainly got the gun on the black market. Sounds like a disturbed young man. Thank you. 300 more rounds on him. A lot more damage could have been done. Lets get to ron. Good morning, sir. Dan, paula, good morning to you. Sara, rob. Good morning, everyone.
