Russia has been banned from major international sports events for four years by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The ban was imposed by WADA’s Executive Committee at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland on Monday.
It means the Russian flag and anthem will not be allowed at major events like the 2020 Olympics to be held in Tokyo as well as the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Russia hosted the last World Cup.
