LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — An Olympic summit which many hoped would bring clarity on the ban on Russia's track and field athletes and other pressing doping issues raised more questions than answers.
Rather than settle the situation, the meeting sowed more doubt, confusion and uncertainty, with less than 50 days before the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The communique adopted by 20 sports leaders at Tuesday's meeting and comments by IOC President Thomas Bach at a news conference produced few clear-cut conclusions or definitive decisions, leaving many messy questions and issues still at play over the next few weeks.
