The Korea Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (KBSF) is reportedly the second federation to announce a boycott of the upcoming world championships, meaning two of the top three skeleton sliders will not compete in the biggest competition of the season.
Only the KBSF skeleton team has announced a boycott; according to South Korean media, no decision has been announced by the bobsled team.
The IBSF Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Championships are set to be held in Feb. 2017 in Sochi, Russia. Other nations, including the U.S., have threatened to boycott in the wake of the McLaren report, which contained serious allegations about a state-run doping program that involved 1,000 Russian athletes.
