The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has ruled that Russian athletes can only compete under a neutral flag in South Korea in February. The decision comes following a panel hearing on the results of investigations involving Russia being accused of doping violations.

Competing as neutrals without a national team means that athletes will not take part in the opening ceremony, and their country’s anthem will not be played if they win any medals. Russian President Vladimir Putin described the option as a “humiliating” compromise.

I seems that they have tests now for Blood-Doping : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_doping  The re-tranfuse your own blood back into you has been going on for decades.

 

It is not just Russians who have been caught doing it by the 'new' tests.
