I think all big nations use doping in athletics including Russia...but since Russia doesnt have big influence in the WADA, they (and the small countries' competitors) got caught...sad but true. Nowadays the competitions are not just in the stadiums, they are in the labs too... :/
I agree with the ban, but i'm wondering if the Olympics need to be revamped. Most of the athletes competing at the top levels are professional and have a huge advantage because of it. The amateur athlete has almost no chance. I'm hoping some unknown golfer wins a golfing gold medal just so we can see someone new on the medalist platform.
I think it was a very good idea to dismiss russians from the Olympics. They use dope and steroids to prevail in sport disciplines. For example Olympics 2014 that took place in Sochi was very corrupted. Judges were bought and told to vote in favour of russian athletes. It was such a shame to see it.
I think this is the right think, due the fact that the Russian federation was involved. Probably some athletes are paying for something they didn't.
Doping is a huge issue, and previously the anti-doping agency not had the courage to punish athletes from the most influencial countries, like Florence Griffith-Joyner.
