Russian tracksters out of the next Olympics

I didn't think that following quickly on the heels of the news that Russian athletes were under suspicion for doping at recent Olympics, that the Russian Federation would accept a competition ban (for track and field).

It's good for the sport, though sadly the problem of doping will likely never go away. But it's tough on the Russian athletes who didn't do it, and especially those who weren't planning on doing it, but who now can't compete in the next Olympics.

Russia accepts IAAF ban for doping violations

But this is just for track and field.  Based on what has been recently written about the water offshore of Rio, the athletes who have to compete out there might wish they were banned.
