Reedie issued a statement late Thursday saying McLaren, a long-standing member of the Court of Arbitration for Sport and a member of WADA's three-person independent commission which exposed wide-spread doping in Russian track and field, would investigate allegations published by CBS' "60 Minutes" and the New York Times in the relation to the Sochi Olympics.
