Time to kick Russia out

MATT DICKINSON

Matt Dickinson, Chief Sports Writer of The Times, insists cheating Russia must be banned from the Olympics

Banishing Russia from the Olympic Games just 17 days before they begin would be one of the most momentous decisions in the history of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It should also be one of the easiest.

The latest revelations about the vast scale of Russian doping leave no room for fudge or prevarication. Russia must be expelled from the Olympic movement indefinitely when the IOC’s executive board meet today. That decision should be done and dusted in less time than it takes a Russian secret serviceman to prise open a urine bottle and swap samples.
