The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected the appeal of 68 Russian athletes against their ban from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Appeals by the Russian Olympic Committee fell on deaf ears as the CAS upheld its decision.
Track and Field star Usain Bolt has welcomed the ruling, saying "“This will scare a lot of people and send a strong message that the sport is serious about cleaning up... If you feel like banning the whole team, then I am all for it."
