Former World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey says it should be a
clear-cut decision: Russia should not be allowed to compete at the Olympics in
Rio de Janeiro.
Drew Kaser Jersey .Fahey told The Associated
Press on Thursday that Russia should definitely not be going to Rio and said the
integrity of the 2016 Olympics and future Games is in jeopardy.This is
widespread corruption, not individual, not a group, not one sport, Fahey said
during a telephone interview. Its a conspiracy of the state through the ministry
of sport, the anti-doping organization and their security service and the
previously accredited Moscow lab.They have all conspired to bring this about.
The only way you can support the clean athletes who will be competing is to make
it known that widespread cheating will not be tolerated.The International
Olympic Committees executive board will meet via teleconference Sunday to
consider whether Russia, host of the Winter Games at Sochi in 2014, will compete
at the Summer Games next month.The IOC is examining the legal options of a
blanket ban following a report by WADA investigator Richard McLaren that accused
Russias sports ministry of overseeing doping of athletes.McLarens report
uncovered a state-run doping scheme that implicated 28 sports, both summer and
winter, and ran from 2011 to 2015. The investigation told of 312 positive tests
that Russias deputy minister of sport directed lab workers not to report to
WADA. Russias intelligence service was also involved, the report said.It also
provided further details of the swapping of samples to protect Russian dopers,
including medalists, at the Sochi Games.The Court of Arbitration for Sport will
issue a verdict Thursday on Russias appeal to overturn an IAAF ban on its track
and field athletes for the Games in Rio. The IOC will take that ruling into
account before making its own decision.Fahey said he wasnt in a position to
comment on the pending CAS decision, saying he hadnt read enough of the
background on the case.But really, it never should have gotten that far based on
what Russia has been accused of the past two years, Fahey said.Tatiana
Grigorieva, a Russian-born pole vaulter who won Olympic silver for Australia at
the Sydney Games in 2000, told Fox Sports Australia she agreed Russia should be
banned, adding its obvious by now that the system is rotten.The fact that the
new findings are saying that [Russias] secret service are involved in this, it
scares me, she said. It goes a lot deeper than just sport or the Olympic
Committee.Fahey says the publics perception of the Olympic movement is at stake
if Russia is not prevented from sending a team to Rio.The McLaren report makes
it abundantly clear that if they want to safeguard the integrity of the Olympic
Games, they need to ban Russia, Fahey said. To have Russia there will put into
jeopardy the worlds view of the Olympics.

.B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win.
GENEVA -- Belgium enjoyed an eight-goal rout in World Cup qualifying on Sunday,
and Cristiano Ronaldo managed just two -- and missed a penalty -- as Portugal
also won.Belgium, which beat Estonia 8-1, and Switzerland extended their perfect
starts to join Germany as the only European teams with four straight wins on the
road to Russia.Switzerlands 2-0 win over the Faeroe Islands ensured it stayed
top in Group B from prolific Portugal, which beat Latvia 4-1. The European
champion has 16 goals in its past three matches, including seven for
Ronaldo.Still, Belgiums 21-goal tally is Europes best, and Eden Hazard and
Romelu Lukaku were both on target in Brussels.Two big names returned to the
scoresheet for the Netherlands in a 3-1 win at Luxembourg. Arjen Robben was
playing his first international game this year, and Memphis Depay scored
twice.Only group winners advance direct to the 2018 World Cup finals, and four
runners-up will go to Russia through a playoff round.Here is what happened on
Sunday:---GROUP AThe Netherlands closed the gap on leader France only after
conceding a goal to Luxembourg for the first time in 53 years.Arjen Robben
returned to national duty after a year sidelined by injuries with a trademark
goal in the 36th minute, cutting in from the right and shooting low into the far
corner.The Bayern Munich wingers return was ended after only 45 minutes, by
which time Luxembourg had leveled from the penalty spot through defender Maxime
Chanot.Its a great shame, said Robben, who was advised not to take risks with a
small cramp. I wanted to play.Robbens replacement, Memphis Depay, took his
chance to score twice. Out of favor with Manchester United manager Jose
Mourinho, Depay headed club teammate Daley Blinds cross for the go-ahead goal.
Depay then scored late with a curling free kick.Also Sunday, Ivelin Popov scored
after 10 minutes as Bulgaria beat Belarus 1-0 in Sofia.France, which beat Sweden
2-1 on Friday, leads by three points from the Dutch. Sweden is third on goal
difference.---GROUP BIt was an eventful evening for Cristiano Ronaldo in Faro.He
scored one penalty in the first half, missed another in the second, scored
again, and struck the Lattvia crossbar with a late header in Portugals 4-1 win.
Mike Pouncey Jersey. After Ronaldos
59th-minute spot-kick struck a post and bounced away off the goalkeepers legs,
Latvia even leveled in the 67th through substitute Arturs Zjuzins.Portugal
substitute Ricardo Quaresma then crossed for William Carvalho to restore the
lead and Ronaldo make the win safe with a volley. Defender Bruno Alves added a
fourth in stoppage time.Leader Switzerland was often labored in beating the
Faeroe Islands 2-0, with goals in each half from recalled forward Eren Derdiyok
and captain Stephan Lichtsteiner.The Swiss, which beat a Portugal team without
Ronaldo in September, is three points clear.Earlier, third-placed Hungary beat
Andorra 4-0 and has seven points before traveling to play Portugal in March.
Then, Switzerland will be favored to beat Latvia at home.---GROUP HWhile group
leader Belgium was crushing Estonia, the dramatic tension unfolded in Athens.A
last-gasp goal by Giorgos Tzavelas allowed Greece to keep its grip on second
place with a fiery 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina.Both teams ended the
game with 10 men, with Kyriakos Papadopoulos getting a red card for striking
Edin Dzeko -- in his attempts to wrestle the ball away -- and Dzeko getting a
second yellow card for pulling Papadopoulos shorts down.Bosnia, which dominated
most of the game, led in the 33rd when Miralem Pjanics free-kick bounced off the
right post and then goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis back before finding the
net.Tzavelas scored with a blistering shot outside the area in the fifth minute
of stoppage time after Bosnias defense only half-cleared a long throw-in.Greece
trails Belgium by two points before the teams meet in Brussels on March
25.Belgium followed up its 6-0 win over Gibraltar by going three up in 25
minutes in Sunday, through Thomas Meunier, Dries Mertens and Hazard. Estonia
reduced the deficit before half time.Belgium added five more in the second half,
including a second for Mertens and two late goals for Lukaku.Cyprus beat
Gibraltar 3-1 in the groups other game.
