Russian ban to be lifted before Winter Olympics closing ceremony?

A second Russian athlete is excluded from the Winter Olympics

A second Russian athlete is excluded from the Winter Olympics. Russian bobsleigh pilot Nadezhda Sergeeva has been banned for doping as Olympic chiefs meet to discuss lifting sanctions on her country.

Also on the programme: an exclusive interview with the man who exposed the Russian Olympic doping scandal and now lives in fear of his life; and an interview with Shane Hanrahan, the winner of the inaugural Mulletfest competition - a celebration of a much-maligned hairstyle.
