>> \"IOC banned Stepanova due to her doping past and instead sent her an invitation to attend as a guest\".
How about Justin Gatlin? How is his case special? He has been caught twice for doping and yet he stands on the podium with a medal. IOC sucks big time? Many Russian athletes would have been involved in this systematic doping but how can you generalize it at country level and say every russian athlete has been on dope and should be banned. They don\'t think their tests with samples collected just before and after the event can find it out?? There has been a big list of doping cases for athletes from US as well, why no such ban on them. The reason as everybody knows is political.
