Six Russian cross-country skiers have now been found guilty of doping at the Sochi Olympics by the IOC panel, which has at least 20 more cases to judge. The panel has not yet published detailed reasons for its verdicts after last week’s hearings in Lausanne. Alexander Legkov, who won gold in the 50-kilometer race ahead of Vylegzhanin in a Russian sweep, and Evgeny Belov were disqualified and banned last week. Vylegzhanin also finished second in the team sprint and the 4x10-kilometer relay. Russia’s relay silver was already stripped last week when Legkov was banned. The other three skiers found guilty were Alexei Petukhov, Yulia Ivanova and Evgenia Shapovalova. None of them won medals. The IOC bans leave Russia with only one medal in cross-country skiing, the bronze won by Ilya Chernousov in the 50K. The IOC will decide if he should be upgraded to gold. Russia remains at the top of the Sochi medals table, but more verdicts are expected which could affect other Olympic titles. That would potentially push the Russians below Norway, and below the United States in total medals. Both the Americans and Norwegians are in line to be awarded some of the vacated medals by the IOC. With calls to ban Russia’s team from next year’s Pyeongchang Olympics likely to increase, the IOC’s executive board will meet from Dec. 5-7 to discuss the matter. The Russian ski federation said it is preparing an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on the four cases announced Thursday. Legkov and Belov have also said they will appeal. Sports Minister Pavel Kolobkov promised legal support for the banned athletes and said they could be cleared in time to compete at the Feb. 9-25 Pyeongchang Games. “There’s still time to manage to file an appeal before the Olympic Games and prove the opposite,” Kolobkov told Tass. “Our athletes will get all necessary legal help.” Putin did not mention the skiers by name Thursday but said his government had never supported or covered up doping. He is widely expected to run for re-election next March but has yet to confirm that. The International Ski Federation will now send the six cases to its doping panel, which is likely to impose bans. Those verdicts are expected to come before the cross-country World Cup season starts on Nov. 24. orthodontics 1389 Center Drive . Suite 160 .
