Russia’s track and field doping ban won’t affect Paralympics (Yahoo Sports)
Russia’s doping ban from athletics won’t affect its Paralympians, the International Paralympic Committee said on Monday. The All-Russia Athletic Federation’s suspension from international competitions, including the Olympics, was upheld last week by the IAAF. The IPC said in a statement that it contacted the World Anti-Doping Agency, which has detailed widespread doping in Russian athletics, to see if Paralympians were implicated.
