Russia facing sporting wilderness after WADA recommends four-year ban

Russia's ability to host Euro 2020 football matches and its participation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 2020 Olympics could be under threat after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recommended a four-year ban for non-compliance in doping investigations.
WADA's compliance review committee (CRC) suggested several sanctions because of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency's (RUSADA) failure to cooperate fully during probes into Russian sport.
The potential punishments relate to inconsistencies in data retrieved by WADA in January 2019 from the Moscow lab at the center of the 2016 McLaren report, which uncovered a widespread and sophisticated state-sponsored sports doping network.
One of the recommended penalties is to remove Russia's right to host a major event unless it's "legally and practically impossible" to remove it.
St. Petersburg is scheduled to host three Euro 2020 group games and a quarter final.
The CRC also suggests a four-year sanction from the Youth Olympic Games, the summer and winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, and any other event under the umbrella of a "Major Event Organization."
This could mean a ban from next year's Euros and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
