The International Olympic Committee has banned Russia from competing at next year's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. But Russian athletes who can prove they are clean would be allowed to compete in South Korea under a neutral flag.
It follows an investigation into allegations of state-sponsored doping at the 2014 Games hosted by Russia in Sochi.Any athletes from Russia who receive special dispensation to compete will do so as individuals wearing a neutral uniform, and the official record books will forever show that Russia won zero medals.
The ruling was the final confirmation that the nation was guilty of executing an extensive state-backed doping program.
The scheme was rivalled perhaps only by the notorious program conducted by East Germany throughout the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.
The decision has been widely condemned in Russia, with some politicians urging a boycott of the Games, though other officials have welcomed the chance for 'clean' athletes to take part
