Federation urged to âbring the hammer downâ
Russia has been banned from using its name, flag and anthem at the next two Olympics or at any world championships for the next two years.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling also blocked Russia from bidding to host major sporting events for two years.
“The whole thing is disgusting,” said four-time world curling champion skip Glenn Howard. “I think they finally got what they deserved. What’s been going on for years now is just unbelievable.”
Individual Russian athletes and teams will still be allowed to compete at next year’s Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, as well as world championships including soccer’s 2022 World Cup in Qatar, if they are not implicated in doping or covering up positive tests.
