MELBOURNE (Reuters) - International Olympic Committee vice-president John Coates has branded Russia's anti-doping agency and athletics body as "rotten to the core" and believes the country's athletes will remain banned from competing at international events.
Russia was suspended from all track and field by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in November after an independent report from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) revealed widespread state-sponsored doping.
