Corsier-Sur- Vevey, Switzerland: Sixteen of 17 Russian wrestlers were cleared to compete in the Rio Olympics by international governing body United World Wrestling. Freestyle wrestler Viktor Lebedev, a former twotime world champion in the 55kg class, was the only athlete excluded following a positive doping test a decade ago. Lebedev, 28, won gold in the 2015 European Games in the 57kg class, and had been due to compete in that event in Rio.
