Russia Barred from 2018 Winter Games over Accusations of Systemic Doping
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Russia has been banned from the 2018 Winter Games after the

systematic doping. The IOC says individual Russian athletes can still
apply to compete in February's games in South Korea, but they will have
to participate wearing a neutral uniform.
