In banning Russia across the board.

I guess the Russians will claim that they have no disabled folk?

What about the Kenyans?
Are the disabled, if that's a PC word, Russian athletes particularly well known for their cheating?
I'd have been happier if they had banned the Russian Olympic team but let the Russian Paralympians take part.
I would guess that a lot of the disabled athletes are on medication from their doctor. How do they decide what is and what is not illegal. ?

Apparently it is rife in the Para-Russians, drug taking for sport that is, probably trying to use the logic of masking the disability. I wonder what Vladimir takes - and not to give it to Donald if he wins.
It is a little Unfare when they let a lot of the Russian Olympic team still compete.

I think they should have banned everyone who failed the test from both teams. If at the end they have only a handful of competitors then so be it, if they have none then so be it.
The 'Kenyan' connection is just one Olympic official from Kenya who has been caught offering to warn competitors in advance of the date and time of drug tests in return for a bribe. It is nothing to do with the Kenyan team.
cassa333 that is exactly what they have done. They did not have the guts to ban the entire Russian team as the Para-Olympics have done.
Only the Russian 'Track and Field' team have been banned totally, the rest are allowed to compeat if they can prove they are clean and have never failed a drug test.
