The IOC’s investigation and subsequent ruling reinforces years of reporting about Russia’s state-sponsored doping program, which cheated countless Olympic athletes out of the medals they deserved. Today’s announcement sends an important message to Putin’s Russia that being a member of the international community means abiding by rules, norms, and standards—and that anything less will not be tolerated. FIFA should add the IOC’s decision to the list of reasons why the 2018 World Cup should not be held in Russia.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
