The International Olympic Committees compromise on Russian eligibility in the upcoming Rio Games, announced Sunday, is guaranteed to satisfy the fewest number of people. It punts responsibility to each sports international federation on an absurdly compressed timetable, further complicating a Summer Olympics already beset with problems.With the torch lighting in 11 days, here are some takeaways from the ruling:The IOCs decision underscores how badly broken global anti-doping and sports governance are, on the eve of its showcase event. Sixteen years worth of attempts to harmonize global anti-doping rules have brought us to this juncture, and many have lost faith in the system. Individual athletes can be suspended for small amounts of pain or cold medications and inadvertent use of tainted supplements, but higher up the food chain, when it comes to federations and nations, the standard of strict liability doesnt apply.The rationale for the IOCs decision was individual athletes rights versus considerable evidence of systemic corruption in Russias sports establishment, and government involvement in that establishment. But the IOC then pivoted and said any Russian athlete with a prior doping offense cannot compete even if his or her ban was served. This rights issue has been arbitrated before and wont stand up if legally challenged.A wider investigation into Russian sport should have been triggered no later than January 2016, when Part II of the World Anti-Doping Agencys independent commission report was released. There was plenty of smoke at that point and athlete representatives called for it. Instead, WADA did not act until May, pushing its newest report to mid-July. Now, each individual international federation will cull through each Russian athlete using criteria that are not well defined, and apt to be unevenly applied. Many, if not all, of them are vulnerable to same overlapping interests as the IOC and WADA. So far, federations have rubber-stamped the Russian Olympic Committees nominations. What federation is going to buck Russia when the IOC wouldnt?Expect bureaucratic confusion and legal/arbitration challenges right up to the Opening Ceremony on Aug. 5 in Rio. The Parade of Nations will be suspenseful as we await the letter R.Fairly or not, any event where a Russian athlete competes or medals in Rio will be dominated by this conversation. This, in turn, obscures the fact that doping is hardly just a Russian problem.Whistleblower Yulia Stepanova was denied the chance to compete as a neutral athlete in Rio, condescendingly referred to as an athlete who doesnt meet ethical criteria in the IOCs ruling. Stepanova had to flee Russia in fear after helping expose corruption. Track and fields world governing body (the IAAF) and WADA both supported her bid to compete under a neutral flag. The IOC hid behind the rationale that athletes must compete under a national flag, when in fact the IOC has allowed athletes to compete under the Olympic flag in past Games, and authorized a refugee team for Rio. Not a great message to whistleblowers going forward. DeAndre Yedlin USA Jersey .

The 24-year-old Brazil international has made 20 Premier League starts after an early-season injury and is reportedly attracting interest from a host of top European clubs including Juventus.But, speaking ahead of their penultimate game of the season at Liverpool, live on Sky Sports 2 HD on Wednesday night, Oscar says Contes arrival is a clean slate for the entire Chelsea squad. Its been very difficult for me, Oscar told Sky Sports News HQ. I had a great season last season, and Im coming from two or three seasons of doing well, but I was one of those players who got injured at the start of the season. Oscar has made 13 appearances of the bench this season When I came back, the team wasnt doing so well and I found myself on the bench and in and out of the first team. I didnt achieve the level I wanted to achieve but hopefully next season I can do better.[The new managers arrival] is great for the players. Obviously you have to prove yourself. Im sure the coach has been following all the players individually. Oscar is looking forward to proving himself under Antonio Conte next season It will be a breath of fresh air to the team and everyones excited to prove their worth to be here.dddddddddddd Obviously I havent been very happy because I havent been playing very much but, with the new coach coming in, its a fresh beginning for everyone.Doubts remain, however, over the future of Chelseas long-standing captain John Terry, who is out of contract in June, and has not been given any indication yet from the club that he is in line for an extension.Terry said on Tuesday that he still wants to stay at Stamford Bridge, while interim head coach Guus Hiddink believes the centre-back is worthy of a new deal, and Oscar also hopes the skipper will remain at the club.He said: His future is down to him and Chelsea to decide whats best. Obviously I want him to stay but its down to them.Hes a great leader and he has helped me ever since I arrived here. I like him very much but he will know whats best for his future and whatever he decides Ill be happy for him.
