Russian track federation suspended, could miss Rio Olympics

IAAF President Sebastian Coe on Friday banned Russia from all international track and field competition for an indefinite period, including the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, until the country is judged to have fixed its problems and fallen into line with global anti-doping rules, according to AP.

Russia was accused of operating a vast, state-sponsored doping program in a damning report by a World Anti-Doping Agency commission.
