The Russian Doping Scandal


A Doping Travesty Russia Cannot Duck http://nyti.ms/1kRzEih

Russia's president, government and media lie.  Such is their reputation that if they were to announce that the sky is blue, it would have to be independently validated before it could be believed.  Russia's moral authority is in tatters and its civil society is deeply eroded by pervasive corruption.  The shocking scope of Russia's doping scandal reflects this profound crisis in Russian society.  It is worthwhile though to remember that the evidence of official Russian deceit in the Ukraine crisis and the doping scandal has come from courageous individual Russians.
