"Spanish IOC member Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr, son of the ex-IOC president of the same name."

So, are we just accepting the fact that the IOC are happy with doping, and positive tests at their events, provided it doesn't get in the way of the sponsors messages?

"Spanish IOC member Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr, son of the ex-IOC president of the same name."

ex-IOC president and KGB puppet, of course.

If the IOC overturns any federation's ban(s), then we have the answer.

At least the weightlifting federation has banned Russians from competing in the 'lympics, that should see a clean event then...

I can accept sportpersons erroring but surely, like when a golfer has to accept punishment for signing his card wrong, you have to take the sanction otherwise the system fails.

Well, the tour's over so we need something to bang on about

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

"In a blistering public critique on the eve of the Olympics, the former chief investigator for the World Anti-Doping Agency claims his efforts to investigate Russian doping were repeatedly delayed by WADA’s president, who preferred to privately settle matters with Russian officials.

Jack Robertson, who left the agency in January, said he was forced to leak information to the media in order to pressure WADA president Sir Craig Reedie to act and, even then, he says, the agency sat on credible allegations that suggested Russian doping extended far beyond track and field."
