The most hilarious comment I've seen in years. Idiocy at it's finest.

Nothing threatens Russian tennis players’ participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics, the president of the Russian Tennis Federation says.

"The doping scandals such as in athletics are impossible in tennis," Tarpishchev said. "This is just ruled out, tennis is the purest sport. So nothing threatens our players’ participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics."

Looks like an honest guy to me anyway. Totally convinced.

Russia have been suspended from "all competitions", but the suspension is provisional, while a formal hearing takes place. Obviously, they'll wriggle free before Rio.

I don't approve of cynicism, or sarcasm, so it's neither when I say that I think that Seb Coe is not the man who should be dealing with all this... :nono

This is also an indication of how pathetic journalism has become. The writers should be fact-checking such statements. Journalism isn't dictation.
