And yet her best time is still 2 tenths slower than the (obviously wind-aided) WR. Sad.

The only reason people are suggesting that Eaton is the best athlete is because some idiot came up with the World's Greatest Athlete term for decathlon champs despite it being a 3rd tier track event.

Actually the event has basically all the athletics disciplines in it so he is the best athlete. No question about it

The fact its only a suspension just shows what a farce it is given they also found evidence that the drugs testers had the FSB threatening them if they didn't pass tests. Indicates it was a systematic organised program orchestrated by the Russian government.

Oh look. Kenya are next on the list to be exposed as having a massive government cover up of their long distance runners being up to their eyeballs in it. A tenner says the next report is about either Jamaican sprinters or American swimmers.

Need a lot more of this, really the only nations doing the right thing on doping lately are Italy, France, and to a lesser extent USA. Criminal prosecution is the way forward, anti doping agencies are toothless and corrupt.

The New York Times probably should have chosen a better headline. The IOC usually rubber stamps whatever each sport's sanctioning body recommends, but in this case Russia is going to try to convince the IOC to either ignore the IAAF on this issue, or at least let some of their track athletes compete.
