Olympics ban on Russian athletes would be attempt to harm Russia's image - R-Sport cites Sports Minister
MOSCOW, Nov 11 (Reuters) - A possible ban on Russian athletes in the 2016 Olympics would be because "some wish to remove a direct competitor and some find it beneficial to damage the country's image", Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told the sports agency R-Sport.
Mutko added that Russian Anti-Doping Agency would be able to prove it acted in line with the rules of a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). (Reporting by Polina Devitt; editing by Jason Bush)
