Newsday

Available for over a year

The International Olympic Committee will meet in Switzerland today to decide if Russia's track and field athletes will be banned from this year's Rio Games following allegations of state-sponsored doping. Last week, the governing body of world athletics decided not to lift a suspension imposed last November. So what's likely to happen today? Newsday's Lawrence Pollard spoke to Catherine Ordway, a sport and anti-doping lawyer in Australia. (Photo: The Olympic flag and Russian flag Credit: Getty Images)
