Anyone surprised by this?

How Russian of them.

Could they lose the World Cup too?

Pound said Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko must also have known.

"It was not possible for him to be unaware of it," Pound said.

The commission report said Mutko issued direct orders to "manipulate particular samples."

Mutko, who is also a FIFA executive committee member and leads the 2018 World Cup organizing committee, denied wrongdoing to the WADA inquiry panel, including knowledge of athletes being blackmailed and FSB intelligence agents interfering in lab work.

LOL. There is literally slave labour going on in Qatar, and they're not losing the World Cup. You think FIFA gives a crap about doping?

I was thinking more of a reformed or replaced FIFA. I doubt too there will be any real change before Russia. But maybe this is a way to get Russia's attention.

Yeah, this is true.

How is this even surprising news? Anyone who saw the training montage in Rocky IV knew this.

Every time I read something from the Kremlin, I envision the Iraqi Information Minister.

The IAAF has suspended Russia's track and field federation.

Russian athletes won't be allowed to compete at the olympics while their federation is suspended

[habernac]

Wonder who voted against.

Big bump

There is a really good doc on Netflix right now called Icarus that goes pretty deep into the doping scandal. Really great watch.
