The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) refused to all Russian athletes, with the exception of Daria Klisina, in admission to participate in the August Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro and other international competitions. It is reported by "R-Sport". Klimina will perform in Rio under a neutral flag.
In addition to Klishinskaya, IAAF examined the applications of 135 Russian athletes who declared their non -involvement in violation of anti -doping rules. However, all of them were rejected, including the application received from the jump with the pole of Elena Isinbaeva.
On June 17, IAAF extended the disqualification of the All -Russian Athletics Federation. At the same time, the head of the IAAF commission on the reform of VFLA Runa Andersen noted that Russian athletes that did not use doping could take part in competitions under the auspices of the association. On June 21, the International Olympic Committee supported such a decision .
On the 23rd, it became known that IAAF announced an acceptance of applications from Russian athletes to participate in the Olympics individually under a neutral flag.
Meanwhile, the Olympic Committee of Russia and 68 athletes appealed to the Sports Arbitration Court in Lausanne with a lawsuit against IAAF, demanding to cancel its decision on June 17. The consideration of the claim is scheduled for July 19.
