Tokyo Olympics 2020 Doping

Tokyo Olympics 2020: Russia's appeal against WADA ban not to be heard until end of April, says CAS

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in December last year barred Russians from competing under their country’s flag at major international events, including this year’s Tokyo Olympics, for four years after it found that Moscow had provided it with doctored laboratory data

WADA bars Russia for four years. But what does the ban mean? More importantly, what does it not?

The decision to bar Russia from international sports for four years raises more questions than it answers. We try to decode what the ban means, and what it doesn't.
