Russia Confirms It's Appealing The International Sporting Event Ban

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) imposed a ban on Russia from international sporting events, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, due to data tampering allegations. While Russian athletes can compete under a neutral flag if proven clean, Russia disputes the ban. President Putin criticized the decision as unfair, suggesting individual athletes should be penalized instead of the entire country. The case is set to be reviewed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
