RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. The Russian doping scandal has been good news for one sports fan. Marc Roberge is the frontman for the band OAR, which stands for Of A Revolution. It also stands for Olympic Athletes from Russia, which is how Russian athletes are referred to because they cannot compete under the Russian flag. Roberge says it is surreal to hear OAR mentioned over and over during the Games. The unintended publicity is well-timed. The band just announced a 2018 tour.

OAR: (Singing) Turn the car around.
