Russia Banned From Tokyo Olympics After Cas Ruling

Russia's ban from all major sporting events after a doping scandal has been cut to two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The ban still prevents Russia from competing in the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, set to be held next year, and football's 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Russia was initially given a four-year ban by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Cas said the reduction of the ban should not be seen "as any validation" of Russia's conduct.

The ban will now run until 16 December 2022, meaning Russia is also banned from competing at the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February.

World Athletics said it will decide in March 2021 whether to allow Russian athletes who can prove they are clean to compete as neutral athletes in international athletics competitions.

The governing body has previously said a maximum of 10 Russian track and field athletes will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag at the Tokyo Games, which were postponed to July 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Russia will be allowed to play at next year's delayed Euro 2020 tournament because European football's governing body Uefa is not defined as a "major event organisation" with regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches.

Sports Update

OLYMPICS:
 
Russia's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against a four-year ban from all major sporting events, will be decided later today (Thursday).
 
Russia has been under suspension from competing as a nation in athletics since 2015, though the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) reinstated the country in 2018 - before WADA's executive committee declared Russia's Anti-Doping Agency non-compliant and imposed a blanket ban on all major sporting events for the European nation.
 
If the ban is upheld by CAS, there would be no Russian team at the rescheduled Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games in 2022 and the FIFA Men's World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
 
 
CYCLING:
 
The International Cycling Union (UCI) have handed a four-year ban to Colombian you rider Fabian Puerta, after he tested positive for an anabolic steroid.
 
The 29 year-old who won the keirin world title in March 2018, tested positive for boldenone in an out-of-competition test in June that same year and was suspended two months later.
 
Puerta can still appeal against the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
 
Meanwhile, four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome will make his debut for new team Israel Start-Up Nation at the Vuelta San Juan in Argentina in January 2021.
 
 
FORMULA ONE:
 
Sao Paulo's Interlagos Circuit has signed a five-year deal to host the Brazilian Grand Prix until the year 2025.
 
The official name of the race will be the *San Paulo Grand Prix* - which reflects the City's investment in the event, and the latest development signals the end of plans backed by Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro to move the Grand Prix to a new Circuit in Rio de Janeiro.
 
The Interlagos Circuit first hosted the  Brazilian Grand Prix in 1972, then the event was moved to Jacarepagua in Rio from 1981-1989, before being brought back to Interlagos on a shorter version of the track since the year 1990.
