There was also scientific evidence, witness statements documents and correspondence, he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe facts are that in Russia there was systemic manipulation of doping and the anti-doping system&#8230; that also took place at Sochi 2014,\u201d added Schmid.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">RUSSIAN APOLOGY<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"48\"><strong>IOC President Thomas Bach said: \u201dToday we gave the Russian delegation the opportunity to express themselves. In this meeting this afternoon the president of ROC (Russian Olympic Committee) has apologized.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAs a former athlete I am feeling very sorry for all the clean athletes who are suffering from this manipulation&#8230; but because we are allowing clean athletes to participate they can set about building a bridge for the future (rather) than erecting a new wall between Russia and the Olympic movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"50\">Zhukov described the IOC decision as contradictory. \u201cThere are positive and negative sides,\u201d he said. \u201cThe IOC has allowed all clean athletes in all sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"51\">Other Russians were more forthright, with Alexei Kravtsov, president of the Russian Skating Union, saying: \u201dThe decision is offensive, insulting and completely unjustified.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"52\">\u201cI consider that this decision will deal a great blow to the whole Olympic movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"53\">Alexei Kurashov, president of the Russian freestyle federation, added: \u201dThe Olympic movement has discredited itself and there will be fundamental consequences to this.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThese are not the principles of Olympism. I can\u2019t say that the activities of the IOC are honest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"61\"><strong>\u201cWELCOME STEP\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"62\"><strong>U.S. Senator John McCain, a frequent critic of the Kremlin, praised the IOC announcement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"63\"><strong>\u201cThe International Olympic decision to ban Russia from the 2018 Winter Olympics is a welcome step in serving justice to Vladimir Putin\u2019s government for its elaborate doping scheme in 2014,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"64\">\u201cToday\u2019s announcement sends an important message to Putin\u2019s Russia that being a member of the international community means abiding by rules, norms, and standards &#8211; and that anything less will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"65\">The IOC\u2019s decision comes 18 months after it decided not to impose an outright ban on Russian athletes ahead of Rio and told international sports federations to decide individually on the participation of Russians at the Olympics in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While all of Russia\u2019s track and field athletes bar one and the weightlifting team were banned from Rio, about 70 percent of Russia\u2019s original 387-strong squad took part at those Games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Slideshow_inline-container_3FQ3h\" dir=\"ltr\">Bach said on Tuesday, however, that the situation was different now.<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201c(Ahead of Rio) there was no opportunity to hear the Russian side and at the time of Rio it was mainly about the failure in the Moscow lab. Now it\u2019s about the manipulation of an Olympic lab. The conditions then and now are totally different.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">SCHMID REPORT<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"81\"><strong>The Schmid report said the IOC had \u201cnot found any documented, independent and impartial evidence confirming the support or the knowledge of this (anti-doping manipulation) system by the highest State authority\u201d after Richard McLaren\u2019s independent report for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had said the Russian government and secret service were involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"82\">McLaren\u2019s report in 2016 found more than 1,000 Russian competitors in over 30 sports had been involved in a conspiracy to conceal positive drug tests over a five-year period<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"82\">In the last month, the IOC\u2019s own commission has banned more than 20 Russian athletes from the Olympics for life over doping violations at the Sochi Games, while the country\u2019s athletics federation remains banned from that sport.<\/p>\n<div class=\"RelatedCoverage_related-coverage-module_1Q8qt module\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"85\">McLaren welcomed Tuesday\u2019s decision, saying: \u201dBy holding Russia accountable for its actions, which date back at least to the (2012) London Games and continued through the Sochi Games, the sports community is demonstrating its commitment to ensuring athletes benefit from an even playing field and drug-free competition.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"86\">\u201cThis decision further confirms the conclusions of my investigation, and I wish to thank all those who helped me with my work &#8212; some of whom did so at great personal risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"87\">World Anti-Doping Agency president Craig Reedie said the IOC had taken an informed decision to sanction Russia for its involvement \u201cin institutionalized manipulation of the doping control process before, during and after the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Travis Tygart CEO of the United States Anti-Doping Agency said: \u201cOver the past three years, a high stakes game of chicken has been played between those willing to sacrifice the Olympic ideals by employing a state-directed doping program to cheat to win and, on the other side, athletes unwilling to stand silent while their hopes and dreams were stolen and the Olympic Games hijacked. Today the IOC listened to those who matter most \u2013 and clean athletes won a significant victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The decision comes seven months before Russia hosts the soccer World Cup, though Bach declined to comment on what, if any, impact Tuesday\u2019s decision might have on that tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Russia has been banned from the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics after the IOC found evidence of an \u201cunprecedented systematic manipulation\u201d of the anti-doping system that has led to a series of suspensions for the country\u2019s athletes in recent months.
