The decision on whether Russian athletes can compete at the Rio Olympics is likely to be made at the IAAF council meeting in Vienna on June 17. Russia was suspended by the IAAF, athletics world governing body, in November after being accused of state sponsored doping in a report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.The country announced reforms on Wednesday that it hopes will repair the credibility of its anti-doping operation, with all track and field athletes expected to undergo a minimum of three independent, externally administered anti-doping controls before the Olympic Games. Russia announced measures on Wednesday to help improve its anti-doping operation Two independent international experts, nominated by WADA, will be based full-time in Moscow from the end of April.They will have full and free access for as long as necessary to ensure the Russian anti-doping system is free of undue interference and is fully independent, the ministry of sport said.Russias minister of sport Vitaly Mutko said: We believe that sport must be clean and fair at all levels, from grassroots through to elite. Russian athletes will face more stringent doping controls as they look to secure their place at the Olympic Games We are 100 per cent supportive of WADAs efforts, alongside the International Olympic Committee and IAAF and other organisations, to stamp out cheating.Clean athletes dreams must not be allowed to be destroyed because of other peoples mistakes. This is an important step in our journey.The Olympic athletics programme begins on August 12 and if the Council does readmit Russia to the sport, most of its athletes would likely have only a matter of weeks to achieve the qualifying marks required for participation.Meanwhile, WADA has suspended the accreditation of the National Anti-Doping Laboratory in Beijing, China for four months. The statement said: During the period of suspension, the laboratory is required to take five remedial steps highlighted by the disciplinary committee in its recommendation.If the Beijing laboratory satisfies the disciplinary committee in meeting these requirements, the laboratory may apply for reinstatement prior to the expiry of the four month suspension period.Earlier this month, WADA revoked the accreditation of Moscows anti-doping laboratory, which was suspended in November after a WADA independent commission report alleged state-sponsored doping and cover-ups in Russia.

Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Fiorentina levelled on aggregate in the 14th minute when Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez headed back a long ball from David Pizarro and Pasqual smashed home an angled volley.WEST BROMWICH, England -- Liverpool missed a chance to strengthen its place in the Premier Leagues top four on Sunday when Kolo Toure gifted West Bromwich Albion an equalizer in a 1-1 draw. Liverpool took the lead against the run of play when Luis Suarez set up Daniel Sturridge to poke the ball into the net in the 24th minute. But the winning position was thrown away in the 67th when Toures slack cross-field clearance went straight to Victor Anichebe, who levelled with a low shot from a central position. "Sometimes in the past I might have switched off," Anichebe said. "But today I was ready, especially against Liverpool. I was there and I finished it." The draw pushed West Brom a point clear of the relegation zone. Liverpool is fourth, three points behind Chelsea, which is at leader Manchester City on Monday. Sturridges 50th career league goal -- and his 24th in 30 games for Liverpool -- in a disjointed firrst-half performance had put his team on course to retain a four-point cushion over Everton.dddddddddddd But the draw will gave more ammunition to the critics who felt Liverpool should have strengthened in the transfer window to enhance its bid to regain Champions League football. But it was not the absence of Ukraine winger Yehven Konoplyanka, whose proposed move to Anfield broke down in final hours of the January transfer window, which ultimately cost them points but a lack of resources at the back. Toure is only playing because Daniel Agger and Mamadou Sakho are injured, but manager Brendan Rodgers insisted defensive reinforcements were not his priority. What Liverpool really need is to keep Luis Suarez and Sturridge fit and scoring -- as they did in a 4-0 rout of Everton in the Merseyside derby on Tuesday. But the duo didnt make an impact at West Brom beyond the combination that produced the first-half goal. ' ' '
