Good. Somebody I know is participating and in the European Championships she lost big time to a Russian like 6 years ago. Less competition for her, bigger chance to get gold :excited2:

The entire Russian Olympic team will today be banned from competing at the Rio Games next month, The Mail on Sunday understands.

According to well-placed sources, the International Olympic Committee will punish all 387 Russian sportsmen and women in the strongest possible way after revelations of their country’s state-sponsored doping programme shocked the world.

The country’s corrupt track and field stars have already been banned from the Games, and last week lost a desperate legal challenge to overturn that decision.

But today’s ruling – the most momentous in Olympic history – will see Russia’s medal hopes in cycling, judo, wrestling and all other disciplines excluded from competition in the wake of the scandal.

The controversy involved President Vladimir Putin’s sports ministry handing out cocktails of steroids and covering up tainted urine samples ahead of the 2012 London Olympics.

...
The IOC’s bombshell decision is likely to enrage Mr Putin, but it is unclear whether he and other Russian dignitaries will boycott the Games.

Unfortunate tbh, do not get it why the government can green lit such action smh

It is harmful for the athletes too.

The title is probably inaccurate; more reliable sources (the BBC for one) coming out to say that there will be no blanket ban on the Russian team, but instead it will be up to the individual federations to decide on whether to ban Russian athletes for their specific sports. 

EDIT: Official IOC statement just out; no blanket ban but definitely a reduced Russian presence.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will leave it up to individual sports' governing bodies to decide if Russian competitors are clean and should be allowed to take part.

I'm not surprised, but this is good news, you don't want a whole country to be banned from the games when a lot of the athletes are clean and innocent it would have been unfair for a lot of Russians but they still could get banned so they are not out of the woods just yet
