Russian admits doping

Russian track cyclist Victoria Baranova was expelled from the Olympics after failing a pre-games doping test.

Baranova tested positive for testosterone on July 24 in Belarus. The test was made at the request of the International Olympic Committee as part of pre-games testing.

Enrico Carpani of the International Cycling Union said Baranova had already left the games. “She admitted her guilt and she left the games a couple of days ago,” he said.
