Russia's anti-doping agency RUSADA says it will appeal sanctions barring the country's athletes from competing under its flag at top international sporting events for four years.
That has prompted anger from some Western athletes and organisations such as the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which wanted a blanket ban on Russian athletes.
That ban already doesn't apply to next year's European Championship soccer games in St Petersburg or the 2021 Champions League final, both of which are exempt because they're continental — not world — championships. WADA investigators found evidence that Russia was intensively editing the data in the weeks before the handover to remove signs of failed drug tests.
