Given how little time they've had, I think it's the best compromise. The IOC doesn't want the political backlash and going back to the dark days of boycotts. Any Russian that's served a ban will not be allowed to compete - so that's the likes of swimmer Efidopa out. The ones that do compete will have to comply with further in and out of competition testing.

That'll make a nice little focal point in his living room...

Yes that's a good point, they are reacting to relatively recent revelations. I wish they could clamp down harder, but then that's opening a can of worms, because there is doping everywhere, we just know more about Russia at the moment.

Is Jo allowed to have her coach talking to her on court

Oh Jo! This was on a plate!

Oh no Jo no

Yes....she wouldn't have done so otherwise!

I thought it was against the rules, for you to have your coach giving you advice during a match

WTA rules are that they can have coaches on the court but not in grand slams.

Ah, Jo! So close, don't let it slip away.
