The report, citing the former general director of the
scandal-hit agency Ramil Khabriev, said it appeared Kamayev's
death had been caused by a heart attack.
"He complained of heart ache after a skiing session. He has
never complained about heart problems, at least to me. Maybe his
wife knew about such problems," it quoted Khabriev as saying.
Russia was suspended from international athletics last November
after a special commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency
exposed widespread state-sponsored cheating and corruption.
Kamayev and Khabriev stood down from their positions along with
the rest of the senior RUSADA management in mid-December as
Russia began working on lifting the ban in time for its athletes
to compete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August.
