The author of the report that detailed corruption in Russia's anti-doping efforts believes there's still time for the country's track team to make it to the Olympics, even if changing the culture of the programs will take more time.
Dick Pound was the lead investigator of an independent commission that looked at the doping in Russia.
He said for a country that essentially "built Sochi in seven years" to host the 2014 Winter Olympics, cleaning up the problem "is child's play."
Pound said all it would take is some direction from Russian politicians to insist on a cleanup of Russia's anti-doping agency (RUSADA), its anti-doping lab and the track team.
Pound spoke to members of the World Anti-Doping Agency, who meet Wednesday to decide whether to decertify RUSADA.
