Doping: Olympic champion Ustyugov banned

The World Biathlon Federation (IBU) has banned former Russian biathletes Yevgeny Ustyugov and Svetlana Sleptsova for two years each for using banned substances and canceled their results from 2013 to the end of the 2014 season. This would mean that Russia would lose the gold medal in the relay at the home Olympics in Soch.
