Russian Athletes Ban Is 'unfair', Says Vladimir Putin
http://
It looks as if Russia is going to miss on Rio. Rumours have been circulating about Russia's athletes doping for many years. So I personally think that this is a good move.
But Lord Coe has been like the Three Monkeys about this...he didn't see anything, hear anything or know anything apparently.

It;s always unfair when those uninvolved get penalised for the actions of the guilty. But I understand they can compete as independents if they prove "clean". Not for their nation though.
That said the number of drug offences that seem to occur anyway one wonders how much faith that events are won legitimately one can put into any of it.
Then add in those who aren't strictly amateur as they get something for competing in sport and the whole thing seems a charade.

One can never be 100% sure whether performance-enhancing drugs have been taken - at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics from which competitors have been subsequently disqualified there were stringent drug tests in place and they were circumvented by the drug cheats. The testing is always likely to be one step behind the cheating.
The difficulty here is that there are grave doubts that tests that have been done on the past can be relied upon.
Its not just the individual athletes themselves.....its the institutional nature of the drug abuse. There are lots of ways that people can cheat a drug test, and the Russian authorities can no longer be trusted.
