Russia pays $15mn fine to IOC

AFP reported that Russia has paid the $15 million it was fined in December, when it was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for mass doping, according to Sport Express of Russia.

The payment of the fine by the Russian Olympic Committee is one of the IOC’s key criteria in deciding whether to lift Russia’s suspension before the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday.
