Russia: Ice hockey legend says 'concrete evidence' needed before any Olympic ban



Soviet-era ice hockey legend Viacheslav Fetisov said that banning Russia from the Olympics “will harm the world's entire sporting community." He was speaking in Moscow on Monday after the release of an independent report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) into allegations of Russian state-sponsored doping. Following the report's publication WADA recommended that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ban all Russian athletes from the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics in Brazil.
