Top sports officials in Russia met today to discuss charges of a doping cover-up and they're now publicly responding to the country's suspension from international competition because of it. From Moscow, NPR's KF reports they argue Russia's been unfairly singled out. Russia's Athletics Federation was suspended Friday after an independent commission alleged that Russia's sports program was tainted by state-sponsored doping. The acting head of Russia's Athletics Federation said that international officials are punishing Russia in an effort to divert blame from themselves. Russia's Sports Minister said Russia's doping problem didn't begin in Russia but were caused because of corruption in world athletics. Last week's report on Russian doping said that the sports minister himself must have known that Russian athletes were using performance-enhancing drugs. KF, NPR news, Moscow. This is NPR.

In Canada, the city of Montreal has finished dumping untreated sewage into the St. Lawrence River in order to make repairs to a major sewage line.

Crews worker for 89 hours to conduct repairs on more than 10 miles of a major sewage line.
