8:30 p.m.

The spokesman for the International Olympic Committee is hinting that its longest-serving member should think about stepping down for criticizing fellow members and calling some of them "old farts."

Canadian Dick Pound has harshly criticized the IOC for not banning Russian athletes from the Pyeongchang Olympics despite a massive doping scandal.

Pound referred to some fellow members as "old farts" in a British newspaper interview. Pound suggested athletes could stay away from the Olympics if the IOC didn't get tougher on doping.
