Race walkers Denis Nizhegorodov and Svetlana Vasilyeva argue that a ban of the entire team is unfair punishment.
Nizhegorodov, an Olympic silver medalist in 2004, says "Competing at the Olympics is the main goal and main honor. We will get that right," in comments on agent Andrei Mitkov's website.
