A court reduced Russia’s ban from international sports for doping offenses to two years, cutting in half a penalty leveled against the country last year. The ban extends to next summer’s postponed Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.

The ban will extend through Dec. 16, 2022 and include next summer’s postponed Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, which take place in February of that year.on the condition that they are not subject to a suspension imposed by a “competent authority.” Their uniforms cannot display the flag of the Russian Federation and must include the words “neutral athlete.” The Russian national anthem cannot be played or sung at any official event venue.

The ruling will revive international criticism that sports and antidoping authorities have been too lenient on Russia despite strong evidence of years of cheating.
