Russia’s decimated Rio Olympic squad: who is banned so far?
The Russian Olympic squad has seen 108 athletes banned so far, with more facing the prospect of exclusion with less than two weeks before the opening ceremony
Following the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision on Sunday not to issue a blanket ban on Russian athletes despite evidence of systematic doping across the majority of Olympic sports, global sporting federations have been left to decide which Russians can compete at next month’s Rio Games.
The IOC said any Russian athletes with a previous doping suspension will be ineligible to compete at the Olympics.
Here is the current state of play among the 28 Olympic sports.
AQUATICS
(SWIMMING, DIVING, SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING, WATER POLO)
Yulia Efimova, Mikhail Dovgalyuk, Natalia Lovtcova, Anastasia Krapivina, Nikita Lobintsev, Vladimir Morozov and Daria Ustinova are seven Russian swimmers banned by the governing body Fina from competing at Rio.
Fina said the “exact implication for the Russian Swimming Federation is still to be clarified” and an “ad hoc commission will have to investigate”.
ARCHERY
Russia’s three-member archery team has been given the all clear to take part in the Rio Games by the World Archery Federation (WA).
