that are the best teams for both genders is my opinion. Both teams can take medal  if they avoid mistakes

Does this say they're trying to find a way for both to be in the Olympics? Or at least tried?

Maybe coaches should take Ksenia Afanasyeva in squad. She is the most experienced. Anyway it was difficult choice for women's team.

Afanasyeva is considered important only for floor exercise where russian team's performance is low. But from the other hand Paseka is very good on vault and Spiridonova on uneven bars

There is a tiny line in the article which says "according to some sources, it seems the Romanian Gymnastics Federation and the NOC are trying to find a way to select BOTH girls for RIo". 

But it doesn't say who those sources are; Romanian sports media is shitty, so this might be utter crap. Regardless of this, THERE IS NO WAY TO BEND THE LAW IN THIS MATTER!
