There may be fewer Russian athletes competing in Rio’s Summer Olympics. Several athletes embroiled in an anti-doping scandal face international hearings and potential bans.
The World Anti-Doping Agency or WADA added Russia to the list of non-compliant countries. It’s a move that could jeopardize Russia’s 2016 Olympic hopes. Some athletes are fighting back and threatening to sue over what they call slanderous claims.
Russia’s anti-doping agency is accused of allegedly coordinating with athletes, coaches, doctors and officials to use performance-enhancing drugs.
A government official confirmed the Russian Anti-Doping Agency will be overhauled rather than shut down over the scandal.
CCTV America’s Michelle Makori interviewed Mike Bako. He is the sports managing editor at DailyNational.com.
