All of Russia's Track and Field Team might be banned from the Olympics
The IAAF upheld the ban on all Russian athletes on the track and field team for doping and failing to institute measures to have it not happen. One last appeal to maybe allow individual athletes never under suspicion of doping to compete, but I think it's the right decision in my mind.
They need to crack down on countries breaking the rules and turning a blind eye in order to get more medals. I would say the same if it was the U.S.

Good... Maybe they will finally learn that cheating does not always work, At least not when the international folks get involved.

They banned a super bowl or an ordinary beer commecial over the lampooning over that stuff. Thery had really butch women dressed in one piecers and the capper was evening wear consisted of the same bathing suit and a flash light. Believe it was a Lite Beer commercial.

Looks like maybe none of the Russian athletes will have the opportunity to compete.

TORONTO — The world’s leading antidoping officials on Monday called for Russia to be barred from this summer’s Rio Games after a damning report confirmed a Russian whistle-blower’s claims of government-ordered cheating at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Sad for the honest ones, but Russia has been cheating for the past 65+ years so no surprise they were finally caught.

totally agree......feel bad for the 'straight arrows' but, as you said, this sort of Russian Behavior goes back, uninterrupted, to the early '50s and the 'good old ussr days'......that girl with the flashlight that someone on here wrote about is absolutely true...but it may have been DDR instead of USSR but even if that's so, it was all the same and light 'tween the two, back in the day.... mac
