IOC bans six Russian womens hockey players over doping
IOC bans six Russian womens hockey players over doping. The International Olympic Committee announced another wave of sanctions from the Oswald Commission on Tuesday, banning six Russian women's hockey players for anti-doping rule violations and disqualifying the Russian women's hockey team from the 2014 Games. Inna Dyubanok, Ekaterina Lebedeva, Ekaterina Pashkevich, Anna Shibanova, Galina Skiba and Ekaterina Smolentseva were all sanctioned by the IOC, while a case opened against a seventh athlete was closed without punishment. The six women's hockey players have been barred by the IOC from competing in future Olympics. The Russian women's hockey team has also been disqualified from the 2014 Games in Sochi, where it won its preliminary group but lost to Switzerland, 2-0, in the quarterfinals.
