Athletics doping watchdog recommends excluding Russia from global federation

PARIS - The Athletics Integrity Unit has recommended that World Athletics expel Russia from the global federation, the doping watchdog announced on Wednesday.

The AIU's announcement comes after the World Anti-Doping Agency decided last month to ban Russia for four years from major global sporting events, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, over manipulated doping data. However sources told AFP earlier this month that a decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport is not expected before May, just weeks before the Games open in Tokyo on 24 July.

It's about time too.
