Can I get a witness?
|
Russian athletes will not be able to compete at Rio 2016 after the Court of Arbitration for Sport backed a decision to ban them over the country's alleged state-sponsored doping regime.
Russia's athletics federation was suspended by the sport's world governing body, the IAAF, after an independent report found evidence of widespread doping. The Russian Olympic Committee and 68 athletes appealed against that decision but after hearing evidence from both sides, Cas has ruled the ban can stand. Separately, the International Olympic Committee is considering calls to ban all Russian competitors from the Olympic Games following a second report into state-sponsored doping. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/36855244

So not just athletics then, but all sports
There's still plenty of countries who have state sponsored doping though, like Ukraine, who need to get disciplined too IMO

Yeah I just read up on it and it's just Athletics (Track & Field) which they're banned, we already knew that but now it's been confirmed by all governing bodies

The IOC is still deciding whether to chuck Russia out of the Rio Olympics completely.
