Rife vs tens9/22/2023 Stung by a scandal that took place under their noses, officials insist this year’s games will be the best-policed ever. A controversial court ruling last year reduced Russia’s initial four-year ban to two, which will expire in 2022. It roped in its spy agencies to subvert the anti-doping tests overseen by the World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA), then fabricated data as part of an attempt to get back into the authorities’ good books. Between 20, and possibly for longer, Russia systematically doped hundreds of athletes. Though some of its athletes will participate as individuals, under the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee, the national team has been banned in the aftermath of one of the biggest doping scandals in the history of sport. They will be the first summer games since 1984’s-which were boycotted by the Soviet Union-at which Russia will not be present, at least officially. The 2020 games will be unusual in another way, too.
