The world's top sports court on Thursday halved a four-year ban on Russia proposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, blocking the nation from fielding teams at the next two Olympics and any world championships.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport, or CAS, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, unanimously ruled that the Russian anti-doping agency, RUSADA, was "non-compliant" with the World Anti-Doping Code, which is at the core of the World Anti-Doping Agency's policies, rules and regulations for sport worldwide.
