Russia Banned From 2018 Winter Olympic Games In South Korea by dmill: 11:55pm On Dec 05, 2017 |
The Russian Olympic Committee was suspended on Tuesday from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, over the 2014 Sochi Olympics doping scandal. Russia’s Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko and his then-Deputy Minister Yuri Nagornykh were banned from all future participation at Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee(IOC) said Russian athletes will be able to compete in the Olympics as neutrals. The IOC, which also suspended the Russian Olympic committee and IOC member Alexander Zhukov, said some competitors will be invited to participate as an "Olympic Athlete from Russia (OAR)" without their national flag or anthem.

Eagleee news compiled reactions to the ban by Russian officials ahead of expectation of Putin's address: Putin said in October that both a blanket ban and allowing Russia to compete under a neutral flag would be "humiliation for the country." Source: http://www.eagleee.com/detail?newsId=439910 |
