Title: Russia banned for four years to include 2020 Olympics and 2022 World Cup

Have to admit to being surprised that UEFA are not a major event organisation.


"Despite the ban, Russia will be able to compete at Euro 2020 - in which St Petersburg will be a host city - as European football's governing body Uefa is not defined as a 'major event organisation' with regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches."
