Russian Have Been Banned From Rio Olympic by ipledge10(op): 4:24pm On Jul 21, 2016

A total ban on Russian participation at the Summer Olympics in Rio moved a step closer Thursday when the country's track and field athletes lost a legal bid seeking the right to compete at next month's event.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) — the world's highest authority in sports — upheld a decision by the track and field's governing body to exclude 68 Russian competitors amid the unfolding doping scandal.
