Olympic doping ban

On 7 August 2016, the Russian Paralympic Committee was banned from participating in the 2016 Summer Paralympics and possibly the 2018 Winter Paralympics due to the doping scandal in Russia.

The decision to ban the entire Russian team contrasts the treatment of the Russian Olympic team during the 2016 Summer Olympics, whose members could compete if they were allowed by their sport's respective governing body.[1]
