The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) banned Russia from international sporting events for 4 years, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, after accusing Russia of falsifying data from an anti-doping laboratory.
About:
The ruling means Russian athletes will still be allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics as neutrals, but only if they can demonstrate that they were not part of what WADA believes was a state-sponsored system of doping.
Participants will have to prove that they were not involved in the doping schemes as described by the McLaren report, or they did not have their samples affected by the manipulation.
In 2016, Professor Richard McLaren, an independent investigator working on behalf of WADA published a report showing that more than 1,000 Russians athletes in over 30 sports were involved in or benefited from state-sponsored doping between 2011 and 2015.
