Russian appeal against doping ban rejected by CAS

The report has Prompted the International Olympic Committee to consider banning Russia from the Rio Games altogether.
It says it will Study and Analyze the CAS ruling. – This is while, The IOC’s Executive Board is set to hold a conference call on Sunday to discuss the issue.
