The International Olympic Committee have confirmed that they will explore “legal options” regarding a blanket ban on Russia from all competitions, including the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, but will not implement such a sanction immediately following the damning McLaren report that was released on Monday.
The IOC has also confirmed that it has "started disciplinary actions related to the involvement of officials within the Russian Ministry of Sports and other persons mentioned in the report because of violations of the Olympic Charter and the World Anti-Doping Code,” with Richard McLaren, publisher of the McLaren report that was commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency [Wada], urging the IOC to name those involved in the alleged doping.
