Russian Curler In Anti-Doping Test

BBC World Service - Newshour, Russian Curler In Anti-Doping Test

A medal-winning Russian athlete at the Winter Olympic Games has failed a drugs test

Alexander Krushelnitsky, a Russian medal-winner at the Winter Olympics has returned a positive test result for meldonium - but can it really be called a "performance enhancing drug"?

Also on the programme: the justice being meted out to those women who married Islamic State militants in Iraq; and Silvio Berlusconi is back on the campaign trail in Italy ahead of upcoming elections there.
