\"Russia\"If you followed the Russian doping sports scandal, this headline is going to make sense to you. If you haven\u2019t followed the doping scandal, keep reading as this quick overview will make things clear to you.<\/p>\n

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has reviewed all of the details<\/a> surrounding the state wide doping scandal that was sponsored by the Russian government. <\/p>\n

In order to make Russian athletes compete better at global sporting events such as the Olympics and World Championships, the Russian government deliberately used performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) to boost their athletes\u2019 performances and results.<\/p>\n

Some of these Russian athletes were aware of what was going on and complied<\/a> while some athletes had no idea what was happening. The state wide doping scandal caused an uproar in the sporting world as nations around the world felt cheated and wanted justice.<\/p>\n

The Court of Arbitration for Sport<\/strong> has penalized Russia from using its name, flag or anthem during the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo<\/a> and the following 2022 Winter Games in Beijing. The same penalty also applies to all world sporting events including the 2022 FIFA World Cup<\/a> in Qatar.<\/p>\n
