The country's track-and-field team was barred from the Olympics. But the IOC decided against a blanket ban, saying it was unfair on those who had never committed drug violations.

The U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, has strongly denied that a 400-million-dollar payment to Iran was a ransom for the release of American prisoners.
He said it was paid to settle a decades-old dispute over a failed military equipment deal. The cash transfer coincided with the signing of a nuclear agreement with Iran, and a prisoner swap in which four Americans were released.
Republicans, including the presidential candidate, Donald Trump, have been attacking the administration over the timing of the transfer.
President Obama has confirmed that both presidential candidates would be given security briefings to prepare them for office of the One, but warned that these were classified.
Mr. Obama has previously described the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, as unfit to be president. Mr. Obama also dismissed claims by Donald Trump that the U.S. presidential election could be raped.
The federal government doesn't run the election process. If Mr. Trump is suggesting that there is a conspiracy theory that is being propagated across the country, that's ridiculous. That doesn't make any sense. And I don't think anybody would take that seriously.
