IOC would have to be 'blind' to miss Russian doping evidence, says Rodchenkov's lawyer

The lawyer of the man who blew the whistle on Russia's state-sponsored doping programme believes anything other than a ban from February's Winter Olympics would "embolden the cheats".

The International Olympic Committee's executive board meets in Lausanne tomorrow to decide what punishment Russia should get for its flagrant cheating, with a ban from Pyeongchang 2018 looking increasingly likely.
