The decision to bar Russia and impose restrictions on its athletes and teamsis the latest chapter in a scandal that first emerged in 2015 with revelationsof a sprawling state-sponsored doping program that was remarkable in its scaleand sophistication.
Under the recommendations, Russian athletes wouldcompete at a second straight Olympic Games in neutral uniforms and collect anymedals they win without the raising of the nation’s flag or the playing ofits anthem.
