Russia Banned From Olympics and Global Sports for 4 Years Over Doping
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/sports/russia-doping-ban.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Quote:
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Global antidoping leaders agreed unanimously on Monday to banish Russia from international sports — including next summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo — for four years, the latest and severest punishment yet connected to a yearslong cheating scheme that has tarnished global sport.

The World Anti-Doping Agency’s punishment includes specific bans on Russian sports and government officials and prohibits the country from hosting international events, and it comes four years after the first details of the scheme that peaked at the 2014 Sochi Olympics were made public.

“For too long, Russian doping has detracted from clean sport,” the agency said in a statement. “Russia was afforded every opportunity to get its house in order and rejoin the global antidoping community for the good of its athletes and of the integrity of sport, but it chose instead to continue in its stance of deception and denial.”
Performance Enhancing Drugs are a worldwide danger to sports. All competitive sports.

The ruskies are always lying and cheating on their agreements too.

IIRC, some of the East German women in earlier Olympics were more manly than some of the men.
