Russian athletes continue to be banned from international track and field competitions, as world athletics body says Russia has not done enough to tackle doping, Eurasia Diary reports citing Al-Jazeera News.
"Unfair and politically motivated" is how Russia is describing a proposed four-year ban from international sporting events.
The World Anti-Doping Agency has accused Russian administrators of manipulating doping records.
It is due to decide on Monday if the ban will be imposed.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Moscow.
