The International Building Federation (IWF) did not allow the entire composition of the Russian team to participate in the August Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro. This was reported on the organization’s website.

On July 27, IWF reported that the four Russian weightlifters performing at the 2012 Olympics in London are convicted of doping . It was about Natalia Zabolotnaya, Svetlana Tsarukaeva, Andrei Demanov and Alexander Ivanov. Forbidden drugs were discovered during the second wave of processing samples of participants in the 2008 and 2012 Olympiads. Two of the Russians, Zabolotnaya and Ivanov, who were convicted of using doping - received silver medals at the games of 2012.

Meanwhile, at the last meeting of the IWF Executive Committee, a rule was adopted according to which the National Federation is disqualified for a year if, during the mentioned audit, it turns out that at least three representatives were taken by doping.

On June 25, it became known that the doping industry "in" the Russian weightlifter Apti Auhadov, the silver medalist of the 2012 Olympics, gave a positive result . Previously, the same result was given by doping tests "in" Russian weightlifters Marina Shainova and Nadezhda Evstyukhina , taken at the 2008 games.

On June 22, the IWF Executive Council has already deprived Russia of one male and one female quota to participate in the 2016 Olympics. The decision was made due to several positive doping sections during the qualification to the games. Earlier, the Russian team had a maximum quota - 10 people: six men and four women.
