Opinion: Russia should have no place in upcoming Olympics

There's a new series on the Olympic Channel called "Foul Play," though unfortunately it doesn't address what is really foul about the modern Olympic movement.

For that, there's no reason to look to the past. There's plenty of foul play on display as the countdown begins to the Winter Olympics in February in South Korea.

Just this week the International Olympic Committee suspended Namibia's Frank Fredericks as a member after he was charged in a French investigation of suspected bribery in the 2016 Olympic host city vote. The former Olympian allegedly accepted a $300,000 payment eight years ago on the day Rio de Janeiro was chosen as the host.
