Russian whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova has asked for a review of the decision to ban her from next months Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) ruled on Sunday that 800m runner Stepanova cannot compete as a neutral despite her role in uncovering a state-sponsored doping programme that threatens the participation of all Russian athletes in Rio de Janeiro.The IOC board sought the advice of its ethics commission, which said the circumstances in which she denounced the doping practices which she had used herself, do not satisfy the ethical requirements for an athlete to enter the Olympic Games. The IOC instead recognised Stepanovas contribution to anti-doping by inviting her and her husband to attend the Games as guests.But in a letter to IOC Director General Christophe de Kepper they wrote: We never blew the whistle with the intent to getting a spectators invitation to Rio.We respectfully decline your invitation as spectators, but kindly ask you to give Yuliya the fair treatment she deserves.The decision to exclude Stepanova has been branded incomprehensible by the head of the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

The fifth match-up of the Round of 32 sees Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg team up to take on St. Louis Blues forward T.J. Oshie. Stop us if youve heard this one before: Heres a play where Datsyuk makes a bunch of players look silly and Zetterbergs there to put on the exclamation point. Datsyuk strips perennial Selke candidate Patrice Bergeron of the puck in the neutral zone (because, of course he does). He then inside-outs Zdeno Chara(!) and slides a cross-ice pass under a sprawling defender and - hey look! - theres Zetterberg, who beats Tuukkka Rask blocker side.dddddddddddd Oshie – as he proved at the Sochi Olympics this year – is comfortable taking on a whole team. After a fake slapper from Alex Steen backs the Tampa Bay Lightning off, Oshie grabs the puck and starts making headway towards the net. Oshie then splits Victor Hedman and Teddy Purcell before avoiding a spinning stick-check from Martin St. Louis. Losing his feet, Oshie finishes it with a backhand shovel that beats big Ben Bishop.
