美国有线新闻 CNN 28名俄罗斯选手禁赛令被撤销 或有望参赛平昌冬奥会

 

AZUZ: Dozens of Russian athletes banned from the Olympic Games have just had those bans overturned. After an investigation¹ into alleged² doping, illegally taking drugs to perform better in the 2014 Winter Games, the International Olympic Committee had banned 43 Russian athletes from ever competing again.

But almost all of them recently appealed to the Court of Arbitration³ for Sport, an organization based in Switzerland. And it said yesterday that for 28 of these athletes, there was insufficient⁴ evidence to show they've broken the rules. It overturned their bans and reinstated their results from the 2014 Games. For 11 other Russian athletes, the court said there were doping violations⁵, but that their ban would be for the 2018 Winter Games and not forever, that they'd be able to compete in the future.

For those bans were overturned completely, this does not necessarily mean they can compete in Pyeongchang, South Korea, starting next week. They'll first need to be approved by an International Olympics Committee panel and then invited to join the other Russian athletes who were not allowed to compete under the Russian flag because of the scandal. The Russian government, which has denied that it had a doping program, said it was very happy with the decision.

The International Olympic Committee said it could have a serious impact on the future fight against doping and that it might appeal the decision at Switzerland's highest court.
