Now for the people who were implicated in the report they will probably remain banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so obviously a pointless rule that won't hold up that I;m wondering if the IOC have a legal trick hidden here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry 92 Posted July 25, 2016 #643 Share Posted July 25, 2016 FISA decision about Russia.Anastasiia Karabelshchikova, Ivan Podshivalov and Ivan Balandin can't compete. I looks like Russia lost women's eight and maybe one men's boat - four or eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dareza 911 Posted July 25, 2016 #644 Share Posted July 25, 2016 and this http://www.iwf.net/2016/07/25/iwf-on-the-decision-of-the-ioc-executive-board/ The IWF is among those IFs where the Entry List is subject to changes following the eligibility check. As soon the IWF receives the relevant answers, information and clarification, the IWF Executive Board will issue the final decision on the eligibility of the Russian weightlifters.

But maybe it would be too much for them. We will see. but it is 404: page not found now Edited July 25, 2016 by dareza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conspiracy theorist in me likes to think that the IOC made a rule that wouldn’t hold up in court just so they can say they did something, but very little actually happens. I mean we just saw Tae-hwan Park win a CAS battle against the South Korean Olympic Committee which imposed a similar ban on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 896 Posted July 25, 2016 #647 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/olympics/2016/07/25/russia-olympics-team-could-be-cut-to-40-as-ioc-backlash-grows/ Citation As well as denying admission to any Russian to have been sanctioned for doping, the IOC will use an independent expert to weed out those considered to have undergone insufficiently rigorous drug-testing in the build-up to Rio. It was anticipated on Monday night that this process would decimate the Russia team from what would have been almost 400 at full strength to a delegation that could even end up as small as 40. An answear to the backlash of yesterday (and the very lazy job of some of the IFs) ? Edited July 25, 2016 by De_Gambassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, that's gotta hurt... I wouldn't be surprised Putin will announce a boycott before the opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
