S. Korea’s skeleton team to boycott Sochi world championships
South Korea’s skeleton team will boycott the 2017 World Bobsleigh and Skeleton Championships in Sochi, Russia, Yonhap news agency reported on Tuesday.
The move comes in response to Friday’s publication of Part 2 of the report of the WADA Independent Commission led by Richard McLaren that accused Russia of doping cover-up schemes at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, TASS said.

An official with the Korea Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (KBSF) said no decision has yet been made on the bobsleigh team’s participation in the championships.
