DFighter Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 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.Source + more to follow: https://www.rt.com/news/412029-russia-ioc-2018-olympics-participation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case I wonder how many others dope too 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
