CAS judgment: Russia excluded from the Olympics and World Cup

Russian athletes are not generally excluded.

You have the opportunity to take part in the competitions as a neutral athlete.

In 2014, manipulations in the Russian doping control laboratory were exposed, and as a result Russia was accused of practicing systematic doping.

Around 1,000 athletes are said to have been involved in the scandal.

The verdict is based on evidence of doping fraud committed by numerous Russian athletes.

With the help of the state and the national doping agency, this fraud was directed and covered up.
