Olympics' doping scandal

Russian skater Kamila Valieva was still allowed to compete despite testing positive for a banned substance before the Olympic games. She was a heavy favorite for the gold - but ended up coming in fourth place yesterday. What does this say about the integrity of the Olympic games -- and what does it mean for the future of figure skating? Plus, smart headlights coming to U.S. cars could make American roads safer. And, how the pandemic is giving us economic lessons in real time. Guests: The Washington Post's figure skating analyst Robert Samuels and Axios' Joann Muller and Emily Peck. Credits: Axios Today is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.
