Inițial, Rusia a fost interzisă patru ani de la competiții de către Agenția Mondială Anti-Doping, însă durata de suspendare a fost înjumătățită în urma procesului de la Tribunalul de Arbitraj Sportiv, care a oficializat joi decizia. Conform hotărârii TAS, Rusia nu va putea avea reprezentanți la competițiile sportive până la 16 decembrie 2022, ceea ce înseamnă că, pe lângă Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo și Cupa Mondială din Qatar, va absenta și la Jocurile Olimpice de Iarnă, din februarie 2022, organizate la Beijing. În cei doi ani de embargo, sportivii ruși care fac dovada că nu au fost implicați în scandalul de dopaj vor putea participa la evenimente, însă fără să reprezinte și să poarte însemnele țării. Singurul eveniment sportiv la care Rusia va participa în următoarea perioadă este Campionatul European de Fotbal de anul viitor. Prezența rușilor este posibilă, conform BBC, pentru că UEFA nu este considerată un ”organizator de evenimente majore”.

Rusia este implicată de mai mulţi ani într-un uriaş scandal de dopaj. Agenţia rusă antidoping (RUSADA) a contestat la TAS decizia Agenţiei Mondiale Antidoping (AMA/WADA) de a exclude sportivii săi pe patru ani de la marile competiţii internaţionale. RUSADA a fost suspendată în 2015, după ce au fost descoperite probe privind un dopaj în masă al sportivilor ruşi. În septembrie 2018, RUSADA a fost reinstaurată provizoriu, dar a fost declarată neconformă la sfârşitul anului trecut din cauza datelor manipulate transmise de laboratorul antidoping de la Moscova. Rusia a fost deja exclusă de la JO de la Rio (2016) şi PyeongChang (2018) din cauza scandalului de dopaj declanşat în urmă cu patru ani, dar unii sportivi ruşi au participat totuşi sub steagul olimpic.
