Russia may face sanctions for doping in skiing
November 21, 2009 8:07 AM

MOSCOW
The head of skiing's governing body says the Russian ski federation and Olympic committee could face sanctions if there are more doping cases in the country.



International Ski Federation president Gian-Franco Kasper said Saturday that "we are not happy with what is going in the Russian federation."

Four Russian cross-country skiers were banned for two years last season after testing positive for EPO. Three Russian biathletes were also given bans this year for having used the same endurance-booster.

Kasper said that "if things do not change we will have to take action against the Russian NOC or whoever is responsible."

Kasper was in Moscow for a promotional parallel slalom event on a huge ramp.
