Russia got the boot from international competition for the next four years, which means their many athletes will miss both the 2020 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, and the 2022 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. They will also miss the World Cup soccer championship in Qatar in 2022.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) executive committee announced the decision at the International Olympic Committee headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. The committee was unanimous in punishing Russia, which the agency accused of falsifying data from an anti-doping laboratory.

“Russia was afforded every opportunity to get its house in order … but it chose instead to continue in its stance of deception and denial,” WADA president Craig Reedie said.

The ruling means Russia’s flag, name and anthem will not appear at the Tokyo Olympics. But Russian athletes can still compete in some major events as long as they are not implicated in past positive doping tests and if their data was not manipulated by the anti-doping laboratory.
