Russia is excluded for two years from major world competitions, including the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021 and the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, for violating anti-doping rules, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS ).
The three referees appointed by CAS have halved the sanction proposed last year by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which was to be four years, while leaving Russian athletes never sanctioned for doping the opportunity to line up under the banner neutral.
