John Treacy calls for Olympic ban if Russians guilty of wrongdoing

Sport Ireland CEO John Treacy has called on Russia to be banned from the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo if they are found to have manipulated data released to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Following alleged inconsistencies in the samples that were handed over to the agency’s investigators in January of this year - after the initial deadline of December 2018 - WADA are set to fast-track a formal compliance procedure against the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).
