Unconfirmed Reports Ahead of IOC Decision Say Russia to be Banned from Rio Olympics
Editorial Coverage Sponsored By FINIS
Tomorrow the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is expected to announce whether or not Russia will be banned from the Rio Olympics, in light of the recently released McLaren Report, revealing long term systematic doping in the nation.
Tonight, unconfirmed reports from The Daily Mail suggest that Russia will be banned from the Rio Olympic Games and possibly even the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The “insider” said, “‘That effectively means expulsion from Rio. But Thomas Bach (the IOC president) also wants to give consideration to the rights of individuals.” Some Russian athletes who train abroad away from “Russia’s sphere of corruption” could “be offered a lifeline to compete in Rio under a neutral flag.”
More information will be reported as it becomes available.
