Russia has cleaned up its act ahead of a decision by the international anti-doping body next month on whether to lift a ban on Russian track and field athletes in time for the Rio Olympics, the Russian Sports Minister said Tuesday. “I don’t see any strong reason to keep our sportsmen from competing in the Olympic Games,” Vitaly Mutko told reporters at the palatial Ministry of Sports in central Moscow. “I believe the punishment for doping should always be applied at an individual level.” The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is set to rule on whether to prolong a suspension on Russian track and field athletes in less than a month. Mutko seemed eager to prove that Russian sport had turned over a new leaf.
