Anti-doping officials have proposed Russian be deemed 'non-compliant' and banned from participation in the next two Olympic Games.
Three years after Russia was banned from the 2016 Winter Olympics — with a limited number of its athletes allowed to compete as “neutrals” — anti-doping officials have suggested a similar policy for the next two Games.
An expert panel with the World Anti-Doping Agency submitted its recommendations after reviewing evidence that the Russians tampered with data from a testing lab in Moscow. The panel characterized the misconduct as “extremely serious,” with “several aggravating features.” The Russian scandal dates back years, encompassing allegations of systemic cheating among athletes, coaches and officials. The country was banned by the international track federation in addition to its Olympic sanctions.
At the Pyeongchang Games, 168 of its athletes were allowed to participate after proving they had not cheated in the past. These “Olympic Athletes from Russia” competed under a neutral flag.
