Russian short track skater Ahn to miss Winter Olympics

MOSCOW, Jan 23 (Reuters) Russian short track speed skater Viktor Ahn, biathlete Anton Shipulin and cross-country skier Sergei Ustyugov are not on the list of athletes eligible for next month's Pyeongchang Winter Games, a Russian Olympic Committee official said on Tuesday.
The committee's vice president, Stanislav Pozdnyakov, told RIA Novosti news agency the three had not been included in the pool from which Russian competitors will be invited to compete in Pyeongchang by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The IOC last month banned Russia from Pyeongchang over "systematic manipulation" of the anti-doping system at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, but left the door open to athletes with no history of doping to compete as "Olympic Athletes from Russia".
