Russia could get a four-year Olympic ban for violating anti-doping rules as the World Anti-Doping Agency executive committee convenes in Lausanne. WADA has accused Russia of falsifying laboratory data
MOSCOW - Russia could be hit with a four-year Olympic ban on Monday for flouting anti-doping rules, a punishment local officials have said would be unfair and part of a malicious Western attempt to destroy sport in the country.
Russian sport could enter four more years of gloom on Monday when WADA’s executive committee convenes in Lausanne to rule on whether to ban the country from hosting major sporting events and to force its clean athletes to compete without their flag or anthem for four years. “The more these types of decisions are made, the better it is... for their anti-Russian argument,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov complained last week.
Yuri Ganus, the head of Russian anti-doping agency RUSADA, has been one of the few critical voices inside Russia.
