Does Russia need the Olympics in Rio?

Нужна ли России Олимпиада в Рио?

The closer the Olympics, the more scandals occurring around athletes. That at one, then the other in the blood are illegal drugs. In recent years, from doping scandals often plagued Russia. Only this winter, many local sportsmen nearly ended his career due to the fact that earlier the World anti-doping Agency on request anti-Doping Agency the United States banned professional athletes to use Meldonium – drug supporting heart function at high physical loads. In General the problem was not in the ban, and that this decision is not timely brought to the attention of those who used it during training.

The positive tests turned out to be so much that some expressed the idea that Russia has its own “doping program”. If it is confirmed that the Russian national team can participate in the Olympic Games, which will take place in 2 to 21 August in Rio de Janeiro. The head of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach said that “the IOC will be held accountable not only individual athletes but also everything around them, can be taken from a life suspension from participation in the Olympic games and serious monetary fines to exclusion of entire national federations”.

In 2015 the international Association of athletics federations has already suspended the membership of the all-Russian athletics Federation in the organization for an indefinite period due to the increase in the use of illegal drugs. If wfla will not be reinstated, the Russian athletes can’t participate in competitions. And this despite the fact that they are one of the strongest in the world. Involuntarily the question arises, who benefits prevent them for the Olympic Games.

And whether in this case, Russia Olympics in Rio?
