Morozov and Lobintsev have been cleared, Efimova is still waiting. As I said before this was probably the easiest decision CAS has ever made, Osaka rule and everything.

phelps 6,990 Posted August 2, 2016 #862 Share Posted August 2, 2016 htere's not officialconfirmation, but it's almost sure that Viktoria Orsi-Toth (ITA, Beach Volley) was tested positive for Clostebol (steroids, the same substance of sailor Roberta Caputo)... so, even if she could be replaced by another Italian specialist, we don't have a competitive team anymore...maybe it would be better to pull out of the competition...

De_Gambassi 899 Posted August 2, 2016 #863 Share Posted August 2, 2016 il y a 27 minutes, T&Fwatch a déclaré: I thought Morozov and Lobintsev were banned because of being named in McLaren Report. So they have nothing to do with Osaka rule It doesn't make any sense anyway. They're either on the report or they're not. There is no room for a possible judgement call by FINA here, It's not like they have misread the name or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's IOC's decision, not FINA's one and I don't see FINA (or anyone else) going full frontal with IOC on that subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINA statement "The eligibility of Russian swimmers Vladimir Morozov and Nikita Lobintsev to compete at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 has not been confirmed, and will not be confirmed until the IOC’s three-person commission to review Russian entrants renders its final decision on these athletes, along with the other members of the Russian swimming team," it said.

You can't punish a person twice and that is exactly what the IOC told sport federations to do. If she was implicated in the report then there would be an argument for her not to compete. Right now she's no different than Tyson Gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
