Canadians say ‘not enough’ to anti-doping agency sanctions on Russia

World Anti-Doping Agency athlete committee chairperson Beckie Scott attends at a news conference following the agency's first Global Athlete Forum in Calgary on June 5, 2018.The latest sanctions levied against Russia by the World Anti-Doping Agency don’t convince Canadian racewalker Evan Dunfee the field will be fair at next year’s Summer Olympics.

Among the punishments WADA imposed on Russia over the next four years – sure to be contested in the coming days at the Court of Arbitration for Sport – is stripping that country of world championships in Olympic sports. Media reports and subsequent WADA investigations exposed Russian state-sponsored doping for the host team at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, throwing the International Olympic Committee and international sports federations into a tumult of what to do about it.The IOC last month said “flagrant manipulation” of the data was “an insult to the sporting movement worldwide.

“There’s still part of me that believes there are clean athletes in Russia and they’re caught up in the system. This leaves somewhat of a door open for those athletes that can prove they’re clean and training outside of the system and then they would be allowed to compete under a neutral flag.” Of 23 racewalkers currently serving doping-violation suspensions, a dozen are Russian, according to Athletics Integrity Unit documents.

Globe_Sports 'Canadians say'.. who are those Canadians and how many say it? Of course, Russia can not do anything right by any western country. Many, including yours have done same or worse, but this is Russia and they can not do anything right. Right? But they DGaF.

Globe_Sports What difference does a little doping make when women with male physics, biologically and hormones and taking tons of hormones are taking over females sports ? I say just cancel the Olympics all together. It all a sham.

Globe_Sports 'The Doped-Olympics', ... I'll watch that.
