IOC, 러시아 평창 참가 불허••• 개인자격 출전만 허용
The International Olympic Committee has banned Russia from competing at next year's PyeongChang Winter Olympics in South Korea.
The decision came after the country was found to have engaged in state-sponsored doping at the 2014 Sochi Games, where Russia finished top of the medal standings.
Ro Aram has the details.
The IOC said on Tuesday that evidence had emerged of what it called an "unprecedented systematic manipulation" of the anti-doping system.
However, the committee said it will allow some of Russia's athletes to compete as neutrals if they satisfy strict conditions that show they are clean.
The IOC said they would participate under the tag of "Olympic Athlete of Russia," which essentially means they will compete under a neutral flag.
The blanket ban follows a probe into allegations of state-sponsored doping at the 2014 Sochi Games - allegations Moscow denies.
The IOC also ordered Russia's Olympic Committee to pay 15 million U.S. dollars to reimburse the IOC's costs of investigating the doping scandal.
The ROC's president Alexander Zhukov has had his IOC membership suspended and Moscow's Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko has also been barred from attending any future Olympic Games.
IOC President Thomas Bach said the probe results showed an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the Olympic Games and sport, expressing hopes that the ban would serve as a catalyst for a more effective anti-doping system.
Russian sports officials lashed out at the decision, with the president of country's skating union calling it "offensive and unjustified".
The chief of Russia's freestyle wrestling federation added that the Olympic movement has "discredited itself" and that there will be "fundamental consequences."
Russian state broadcaster VGTRK also said it will not broadcast the PyeongChang Games if the Russian team is not participating.
The competition, which starts on February ninth, will now be without one of the powerhouses of Olympic sport.
