It would appear that the Winter Olympic Games has been thrown into turmoil as a decision to overturn the Olympic life bans of 28 Russian athletes "may have a serious impact on the future fight against doping", says the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) overturned the IOC suspensions - for doping at the 2014 Winter Olympics - partially upholding 11 other appeals.
Cas said that in 28 cases evidence was "insufficient" to prove doping.
The IOC said it would consider its own appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
