This is kind of sad to have such a big Olympic nation banned 'This from my recall may have been the second time, THEY have been banned'. I believe that they where banned by 'THE IAAF awhile back and could not part take in any of the track and field athletics championships'.

I am not quite sure of the scale of their offenses.

Historically Russia is a Olympic power house, you expect them to be at the Olympics etc

China is not on the level of Russia's achievements at the Olympics.
