IOC Bans 11 More Russian Athletes For Life

Luger Albert Demchenko is one of 11 Russian athletes whom the International Olympic Committee banned for life on Friday. He will be stripped of the two silver medals he won at the 2014 Sochi Games.

The sanctions mean that Russia has lost two more medals from its Sochi count. Some 200 athletes from Russia may compete at the Pyeongchang Games under a neutral flag.
