members of quadruple sculls squad Nikita Morgachov and Pavel Sorin tested positive for Meldonium during the June training camp. Not sure what that means for Russia's crew. Probably just replace both member by someone else?

I don't think so. These late doping offenses (after the entries deadline), usually result with their nations not being allowed to name substitutes. Sort of a punishment for entering dopers to begin with.

Lithuanian women's double just replaced one of their rowers, but in 2016 Russia had to forfeit some rowing quotas. I guess we will see what happens.

Doping controls in Greece (where the Russians went for training) caught them.
