In the past weeks IOC already announced the lifetime ban of many Russians that competed at Sochi 2014. The awkward part is that the IOC has yet to inform the various international sports associations on what grounds the individual bans have been enforced, which means the subjects at hand are still competing in international events not named 'Olympic'.
It isn't a new approach, basically a copy paste of what the IAAF (Ahtletics) has done for the past year and a half.

Not quite enough apparently, FIFA has announced the Russians will be kept away from any doping tests. Of course, we also know FIFA does nothing serious about doping to begin with. We're still waiting for them to ban the Mexican national team for 2 years for banned substance violation of the entire team...
