World Athletics Council Bans "All Russian & Belarusian Athletes" From International Sporti

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

The latest is the World Athletics Council announced: "all athletes, support personnel and officials from Russia and Belarus will be excluded from all World Athletics Series events." 

Upcoming events include the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, the World Athletics Indoor Championships Belgrade 22, and the World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships Muscat 22, which begin on Friday in Oman (4 March).

The Council also agreed to consider further measures, including the suspension of the Belarus Federation, at its scheduled Council meeting next week (9-10 March).

The Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) has been suspended from World Athletics since 2015, due to doping violations, and therefore is not currently eligible to host World Athletics events or send teams to international championships.
