Russia’s Olympic team banned from the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang for over doping scandal :




THE Russian Olympic Committee has been banned from sending a team to the 2018 Winter Olympics because of evidence of a systematic state-sponsored doping program — arguably the harshest punishment in Olympic history.Individual Russian athletes can apply to compete, but they will not be permitted to wear a country uniform.


The IOC announced the decision after examining evidence of state-sponsored doping over several years that reached its zenith at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

The IOC suspended the Russian Olympic committee and IOC member Alexander Zhukov, and also banned Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vilaty Mutko from the Olympics for life. Mutko was the sports minister in 2014 and is the head of the organizing committee of soccer's next World Cup.

The Russian Olympic committee was also fined $15 million to pay for the investigation and future anti-doping work.
