Admin Lineker Posted August 23, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 7th-18th September Russia will not compete at next month’s Paralympics in Rio after losing an appeal against a ban imposed for state-sponsored doping. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) upheld the International Paralympic Committee's (IPC) ban on all Russian competitors. The IPC made the decision in light of the McLaren report, which detailed a state-sponsored doping programme operated by Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colly Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm going on pure guesswork here, but if this is just to send a message it's a harsh one. In my head the Ivan Drago regime isn't really concentrating on that sport where people with cerebral palsy throw a ball over their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the uncovered state sponsored doping programme included doping in paralympic sports so it seems fair to me, considering I thought Russia should have been blanket banned from the Olympics in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
