Tomorrow marks a grave day in athletics, but a new day for clean sport. A significant report will be released by WADA's Dick Pound that makes FIFA corruption look low level. Early indications allude to an Olympic ban for Russia in athletics...and potentially all sports. There is further evidence to suggest a government sponsored widespread systematic doping regime including Winter sports in the run up to Sochi and clear evidence of bribery, where officials have paid for positive tests to be covered and a discussion on "bought" results. The sports in which results could be bought are limited, and obviously include Figure skating. Again, this will not be a Mickey Mouse report, or an undercover investigation, this is WADA and they annul, expel, demote to their hearts content.
Whilst the corruption is clearly endemic and not limited to Russia, it is an interesting country to start with and I just have a feeling that the Sochi results will come to play here, sooner rather than later.
