To better understand what led up to this, watch the documentary "Icarus" on Netflix. Very well done.

"Icarus is a 2017 American documentary film by Bryan Fogel, which chronicles Fogel's exploration of
the option of doping to win an amateur cycling race and happening upon a major international doping
scandal when he asks for the help of Grigory Rodchenkov, the head of the Russian anti-doping
laboratory."

Even Lance Armstrong had some comments about 'Icarus'.

The Russians have been doping for years. Looks like it finally caught up with them.
