Stepanova is screwed over too. What a mess.

No Stepanova, great way from IOC to show a completely wrong signal Goodbye to anyone else having the courage to be a whistleblower

 

No Efimova, best news of 2016

Every time a Russian steps on a podium in 2016 there will be whispers.  The IOC's fear of harming the Olympics has just discredited dozens of events.  Maybe they should hold a special ceremony for the 4th/5th place people from now on.

Agreed. Efimova going to Rio made me sick

[heywoodu 15,351]

I'm sad for Stepanova, but everything put together, I think the IOC has done a relatively good job. If I had to give this decision a note from 1-10, I would go for a 6 or 7

When we will know in which sports Russia will be banned?

Maybe we will write in one place who is going to miss olympic, because this:

The ROC is not allowed to enter any athlete for the Olympic Games Rio 2016 who has ever been sanctioned for doping, even if he or she has served the sanction.
