Two-time Olympic 400m hurdles champion Moses, a member of the WADA foundation board, said a ban on Russian stars from Rio was the only suitable sanction for athletes implicated in the scandal.
&ldquo;The only sanction is that enough is enough. It is to state loudly and clearly that the Russian athletics team cannot go to Rio,&rdquo; Moses told the meeting. &ldquo;Athletes are very concerned &mdash; they want to see the right thing done in this case,&rdquo; Moses said.
Moses said WADA&rsquo;s investigation indicated that doping had spread into other sports in Russia. &ldquo;This means that before any talk of Russia becoming compliant, there must be an investigation of every sport,&rdquo; Moses said. &ldquo;I had many close friends who had irreplaceable moments stolen from them,&rdquo; Moses said. &ldquo;My hope is that there is not a generation of athletes that have their dreams stolen from them too.&rdquo;
