The International Olympic Committee has said it would accept any sanctions imposed on Russia by the World Anti-Doping Agency following the latest doping scandal involving the country.
An Anti-Doping compliance committee recommended that Russia should get a four-year ban from the Olympics, as part of sanctions for having providing the agency with manipulated and incomplete laboratory data.
WADA’s executive committee will meet in Lausanne on Dec. 9 to consider the recommendations, which the head of Russia’s Olympic Committee described last week as “excessive, inappropriate and wrong.”
IOC President Thomas Bach says it is mandatory for IOC to follow WADA’s decision on the matter
