World Athletics - Blighted by doping and cheating.

No , so many cheats now right through the all sports including trainers managers ect, fell sorry for the genuine ones. ( if there are any ) 

What a farce  one minute Russia banned from Rio ( which I agreed with) now the I O C says yes they can compete in Rio why do they even bother drug testing 

The only way the people in charge are going to have the bottle to do anything is if the sponsors withdrew their support en masse. Money at the root of almost everything, though I suspect Russian "pride" (or machismo) probably came top.

The Russian govement financed and controlled the drug abuse just heard on the news the athlete who done the whistle blowing about Russia was and is a clean athelete but they are not allowed to  participate in Rio , but can go as a Spectator as their guest , what a load of baloney

must admit I love sport abielt footy / cricket but I have no interest in this Olympic's at all , with what's been going on in Rio and the drugs with Russia , to much controversy and how can anyone watch without thinking who's cheating 

Doping is rife in many sports and in many countries (and I include the UK in that).......Russia is the tip of the iceberg.....and the authorities are not even dealing with them.

Agree Ruby about not having interest espicially as so many people have pulled out due to worries about the Zika virus.

Russia's Track and Field athletes remain banned from competing at Rio. Other sports have to be guided by their own governing body, and sadly only have 12 days to make a decision one way or another. 

I think IOC committee have won Gold medal in the "Passing the buck" competition. Cowards.

37 Russians, apart from all of the Track & Field Team, have been banned by their respective sport's bodies.

The only way to put a stop to drugs cheating in the future is, if any athlete is caught using banned substances, even for the first time, they should be banned from the sport "For Life" No if's or buts. 

Until athletes realise that by taking illegal drugs they are ending their sporting career, there will always be drugs cheats in international sporting events.
