Rusada said the cause of death was "a massive heart attack". Russia
was suspended from international athletics last November. The World
Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) accused Russian athletics of state-backed
doping, corruption and extortion.
"He will remain in our memories
as an experienced and understanding leader, distinguished by his high
professionalism," the Rusada statement said, adding that Kamaev was able
to create a "friendly atmosphere" in his team.
