Sanctions extended by IOC over Russia doping scandal


(MENAFN) Doping sanctions against Russia have been extended until further notice by the International Olympic Committee.

In detail, measures against the country were imposed in July after the first part of a World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada)-commissioned report found evidence of state-sponsored doping.

Part two of the McLaren report will be published on Friday.

Russian track and field athletes and weightlifters were banned from competing at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
