    (211229) -- BEIJING, Dec. 29, 2021 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on July 29, 2021 shows athletes of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) celebrating after winning the women's foil team gold medal fencing match against France at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on February 2 it would not appeal against Russia's two-year ban, which was cut from four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in late 2020. Due to several doping scandals, Russian athletes are forced to compete under a neutral flag instead of the Russian flag at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup among other global sporting events.
