Biathlon Boycott Find out why the US biathlon team are boycotting a World Cup event in Russia this month, despite the IOC lifting their ban. A member of the US team, Clare Egan, tells us they’re making a stand against doping in sport and believe the IOC lifted the sanctions too soon.

Their English coach, Justin Whalley, tells us the story of their qualification and the fund-raising taking place so they can take part in the finals.
