With the Pyeongchang Games fast approaching, the Canadian Olympic Committee is calling on the International Olympic Committee to move forward with “more timely action” in the wake of the McLaren Report on Russia’s systemic state-sponsored doping. IOC investigators have announced they expect several doping cases involving Russians at the 2014 Sochi Olympics will be resolved by the end of November. It’s expected that evidence will be handed over from the IOC to various sports federations to decide on athletes’ eligibility for Pyeongchang. “So we’re asking for the IOC to look at those provisionary measures.”Both commissions are operating off information from the McLaren Report. “We need to look for constructive solutions to these problems.”The Pyeongchang Games are set for Feb. 9-25.
