Russia could be banned from the Rio Olympics next month after an independent commission found evidence of state-sponsored doping in the country during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

 

The investigation by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which was led by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, said Russia's Ministry of Sport "directed, controlled and oversaw" the manipulation of urine samples provided by Russian athletes at the Sochi anti-doping laboratory with the "active participation and assistance" of the FSB secret service.

 

McLaren delivered three main findings at a press conference in Toronto on Monday - that doped samples "disappeared" from the anti-doping laboratory in Moscow, that they were swapped with clean samples at the laboratory for the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 and that these plans were directed by the Russian sports ministry.

I still just think "Kudos" - the sprinting aside, I don't give a monkey's about the rest of the olympics, nor indeed the rest of athletics. I am however a sucker for a Cold War spy story, and this is Cold War Spy Story meets Looney Tunes: setting up a parallel doping lab was genius; cutting a hole in the wall and swapping samples out is just a rehash of the old dynamite routine from Bugs Bunny!

Quite frankly ridiculous isn't it really.....

 

Surely all this could have an effect on them hosting the football world cup in 2 years?

Yeah, it is. They should be issued with a massive fine and banned from competing for a long time.

 

Football, no as there players play all over the world and no doubt get tested regular by there clubs and by the football's governing body's at club football. It's not a big problem in football I don't think.
