Russia has been banned from the Olympics and world championships in a range of sports for four years after the World Anti-Doping Agency ruled to punish it for manipulating laboratory data.
Russia was banned from the Olympics and world championships in a range of sports for four years on Monday after the World Anti-Doping Agency ruled to punish it for manipulating laboratory data, a WADA spokesman said.
Monday's sanctions had been recommended by WADA's compliance review committee in response to the doctored laboratory data provided by Moscow earlier this year. The punishment, however, leaves the door open for clean Russian athletes to compete at major international sporting events without their flag or anthem for four years, as was the case during the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
