Legendary coach Frank Carroll died yesterday from cancer.

Rest in peace, Frank.

CAS rejects Russia's appeal, US will get gold, Japan silver.

Canada's appeal is still open. If their appeal is successful, they would get bronze.

IOC is apparently trying to get US and Japanese athletes to Paris to hold the ceremony there.

If I ruled the world, they would award Bronze medals to Canada now and then let Russia appeal to get the bronze medals back. This waiting and wondering has thoroughly punished the clean athletes. Canada would receive the medals knowing that they might have to give them back. It's not ideal but waiting is more ridiculous.

I can’t believe this is still going on.

The bronze medal not being awarded at the ceremony is such an embarrassment for the IOC.
