Officially... Russia suspended sport 4 years
A spokesman for the World Anti-Doping Agency said that Al-Wada on Monday banned Russia's participation in the Olympics and World Championships in a group of sports for four years due to manipulation of the results of doping tests.
The executive committee in El Wada issued its decision after it concluded that Moscow had tampered with data by developing false evidence and deleting files related to positive doping tests that could have helped in controlling cheaters.
The spokesman added that the decision of the Executive Committee in Elwada to punish Russia was taken unanimously.
Alwada's compliance review committee recommended this punishment.
The International Olympic Committee banned Russia from participating in the Pyeongchang Winter Games last year because of an alleged doping scandal sponsored by the country at the Sochi 2014 games.
But some Russian athletes, whose reputation was not tarnished with stimulants, were allowed to participate as freelancers.
With this new ban, Russia will miss the Tokyo Olympics next year, and the Beijing 2022 Winter Games.
But the Compliance Committee’s recommendations left the door open to Russian athletes, as happened at the 2018 Winter Olympics when Russian athletes participated as independents under the Olympic flag.
Athletes must prove that they are far from doping and are bound by several other stringent conditions.
The Compliance Committee also recommended that Russia not be allowed to host or bid to host any major sporting event.
If this right was granted, the committee recommended that the juveniles be transferred to another country, unless this was legally or practically impossible.
During the four-year ban period, Russian athletes and officials will not be welcome at any major sporting event including the President of the Russian Olympic Committee, it's Secretary-General, the Executive Director and all members of the Executive Council of the Committee.
One of the conditions for the lifting of the previous ban of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency was for Moscow to give Wada officials an original copy of the results of laboratory tests.
The Russian agency was punished with suspension in 2015 in the wake of the athletics corruption scandal, but the penalty was lifted last year.
The new punishment means the cancellation of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency accreditation.
Sports Minister Pavel Kulkovkov this month attributed the inconsistency in the laboratory data, for technical reasons.
Russia can appeal any punishment to the sports arbitration court.
Russia returned to being under the microscope again because of doping last September when Elwada stated that the data is obtained from the Russian Anti-Doping Agency contained "inconsistencies", which led to a decision to open a formal compliance investigation.
In September 2018, the WADA Executive Committee issued a controversial decision to re-accredit the Russian Anti-Doping Agency provided that Russia delivers credible data from the Moscow laboratory.
The Russian agency exceeded the deadline, but a Wada inspection team was allowed in the final moments to retrieve Moscow laboratory data in January and recovered data on more than 2,200 samples.
This was expected to put an end to the Russian doping issue until evidence of data manipulation was discovered
