The Federal Court of Switzerland rejected the complaint of the Russian Paralympicians about the ban on participating in 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. Thus, athletes are finally suspended from the competition in Brazil.
The International Paralympic Committee removed the Russian team from the Games in Rio in early August. This decision was appealed in a sports arbitration court in Lausanne, but the appeal was rejected. After that, Russian athletes appealed to the Federal Court of Switzerland.
The decision on the removal of the Paralympic team of Russia was made in connection with the facts of the use of doping , which were reported to the World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) in July 2016.
For the same reason, about 100 Russian athletes were removed from participation in the 2016 Olympics. According to WADA, the FSB was involved in the doping fraud in Russia.
