Russian Athlete Banned for Olympics

Russian track and field athletes won't participate Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this year. The games will start next month. 

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) claimed that Russian authority lead doping to Russian athletes. They even swapped positive urine samples for clean ones to pass doping tests. 

I'm really sorry for the athletes. I don't think that most of them can reject doping becaus of pressure from the government. Russian authorities should revival the facts to the world.

Sharapova Positive for Doping

Maria Sharapova, a Grand Slam champion tennis player, announced that she was positive for illegal drug test at the Australian Open. 

She said she had been taken the drug for ten years because of her health problems. The World Anti-Doping Agency newly banned the drug, but she said that she didn't aware of that. 

Her explanation doesn't have much conviction. Her agency might know what drugs were banned. In addition, she has lived in the United States since she was 7 years old and the drug has never been approved in America. It's hard to believe that she has used the drug for treatment. Only Russian doctors use the drug. In fact, some Russian athletes had tested positive for the drug, too. It's natural that Sharapova used the drug for boosting her performance. 

She must have obeyed rules. Fairness is necessary for sports competition.
