“#Excessive mercy for cheatin\u2019 Putin<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Last year, the World Anti-Doping Agency justly punished Russia for cheating by banning it from international sports for four years. But Moscow app<\/a>ealed, and Thursday the Court of Arbitration for Sport halved that punishment to two years.<\/p>\n

Too bad: WADA investigators had clear evidence that, as their report noted, \u201cthe Russian authorities brazenly and illegally manipulated the Moscow Laboratory data in an effort to cover up an institutionalized doping scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Vladimir Putin (who surely oversaw the cheating) won\u2019t get off scot-free: The ban still goes through Dec. 16, 2022, so Russia will miss the next two Olympics \u2014 in Tokyo next summer and the 2022 Beijing Winter Game<\/a>s \u2014 as well as the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n

The Switzerland-based sports court barred Russia\u2019s flag from being displayed or the anthem sung in any venue, and prohibited Putin and other senior government officials from attending the sporting events.<\/p>\n

Russian athletes can compete in the Games on the condition that they\u2019re not subject to an individual suspension imposed by a \u201ccompetent authority.\u201d Their uniforms also can\u2019t display the Russian Federation flag and must include the words \u201cneutral athlete\u201d or an equivalent.<\/p>\n

While the punishment is not as harsh as we, or WADA, would\u2019ve liked, at least actions still have consequences.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
