Russia has been banned from the 2022 World Cup.
Show nested quote +
Russia's ban from all major sporting events after a doping scandal has been cut to two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The ban still prevents Russia from competing in the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, set to be held next year, and football's 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Russia was initially given a four-year ban by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Cas said the reduction of the ban should not be seen "as any validation" of Russia's conduct.

The ban will now run until 16 December 2022, meaning Russia is also banned from competing at the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February.

Russia will be allowed to play at next year's delayed Euro 2020 tournament because European football's governing body Uefa is not defined as a "major event organisation" with regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches.

Wada declared Russia's Anti Doping Agency (Rusada) non-compliant for manipulating laboratory data handed over to investigators in January 2019.


BBC article


Good just to soft. should not have been only 2 but 4 years, Clearly they cheated so many years and finally got penalty. Should not be in foorball subject because this is much more general sports where football get hit as a side effect.

hm no, they are in 6th place if they win today, you are probably looking at an updated table. However, they have one game less played than the other teams - assuming they win that one, they would indeed be second place.

It could also be that you got this impression something like 6 matches ago. Assuming they win now, they have 5-1-0 in their previous 6 matches. And in a league as close as the premier league is, this type of run makes a pretty massive difference.

They're also going to be 6-0-0 on away field (and 1-2-3 on home field) if they win today.

Also damn that 1-1 goal is beautiful. Also pogba's pass before the 2-1. United is certainly far from a complete team, but they do have attacking players capable of producing some quick efficient magic.

The passing leading to that 3-1 was nice, too. Pogba starting the move nicely as well.

Also if this game looks to go to plan I'm sure there will be another implosion on the weekend

Considering Ole has already lost out in CL group stage he has to reach 2nd at least this season for it to call it any success at all

That was very confusing. AFAIK it is voted by other managers? Not sure how Flick ended up only third

Ah well, Flick is gonna get the next award anyway

Maybe other managers just honor Klopp beating the billion dollar squad of Pep/City?

I guess people who work 24/7 in football know what kind of achievement that is.

Apparently Flick actually ended up 2nd, not sure why he was reported as 3rd at first. So there's 4 sets of voters - national team head coaches, national team captains, media representatives and fan vote. Flick had more votes from the media and fans, but Klopp had more from captains and coaches. They actually came to an exact tie and the tie breaker was votes from the coaches so Kloppo took it.

Klopp himself said that he wasn't the best this year.

I hate Bayern like probably many others but Flick deserved this more than Klopp imo.

That's how I feel, too.
I hate Bayern but I have the greatest respect for what they do and how they operate (besides the whole ex-con as president debacle)

I agree that I would have given it to flick over Klopp.

But considering that the people who are the ACTUAL experts (players and coaches) of this sport have voted Klopp - maybe we (fans and media - who usually are way more ignorant) are mistaken?

I mean ultimately it's a vote and you need fame/popularity on your side to win. Klopp and the Premier League have more reach across the planet. Something that somewhat supports that impression is that Flick was ahead of Klopp in votes by a decent margin in the top 30 countries of the FIFA World Ranking. Both among the coaches and captains.

Also as the votes are public, there's quite a few people who didn't have Flick in their top 3 at all and that just leads me to entirely reject the idea that those people could possibly be experts who just know better.
