Russia Faces 2018 Olympics Ban As IOC Rules On Widespread Doping

The International Olympic Committee is expected to punish Russia on Tuesday for a state-run doping program. The decision comes months before the next Winter Olympics, which begin in PyeongChang, South Korea, in February.

The decision by the International Olympic Committee follows last year's McLaren Report, which said more than 1,000 Russian athletes were involved in manipulating doping controls.
