Russia banned from 2020 Olympics and 2022 World Cup

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has unanimously agreed to ban Russia from major international sporting competitions -- notably the Olympics and the World Cup -- for four years over doping non-compliance. WADA's compliance review committee (CRC) had suggested several sanctions because of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency's (RUSADA) failure to cooperate fully during probes into Russian sport. WADA's executive committee decided to uphold the recommendations at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
