MOSCOW — The Olympics continue to spin on a wobbly axis, trapped in a vortex of corruption and doping.
Who should be held responsible for Russia’s systematic doping, which operated furtively at the 2014 Winter Games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi and was exposed by the same man who masterminded its shadowy effectiveness?
Should Russia’s Olympic committee be made to pay by a forced absence from the 2018 Winter Games in February in South Korea? Should all Russian athletes be barred from competing there? Some of them? How does one decide?
And how much blame should the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency share?
