Wolohan , who studies and听听听doping in sports, said that the systematic doping that Russia was found guilty of by the IOC has not been 鈥渟een in the Olympics since the East Germans of the 1970s and 1980s.鈥
鈥淭he decision of the IOC to ban Russia sends a clear message that it believed that the Russian government and the Russian Olympic Committee were engaged in systematic cheating that robbed clean athletes of medals at Sochi,鈥 said Wolohan.
鈥淎lthough they were criticized for allowing Russian athletes to compete in Rio, today鈥檚 actions by the IOC send a strong message that doping will not be allowed in the future,鈥 says Wolohan.
He did mention that banning Russia does come with hazards.
鈥淩ussia is one of the biggest winter Olympic participants, by banning them, the IOC risks the success of the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea,鈥 says Wolohan.
