Russians at Rio Games: Who’s in and who’s out?

NEW YOR K • When the International Olympic Committee declined to bar the entire Russian team from the Summer Games, it largely passed off the decision on Russian athletes and teams to the individual international sports federations. The opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro is Aug. 5, so the federations must swiftly determine which Russian athletes will be allowed to compete.

The IOC said that Russian athletes who had doping violations in the past, even those who have already served a penalty, must be barred from the games.

Here’s a sport-by-sport tally, as of early Tuesday:

Russia earlier lost two weightlifting places at the games because of multiple doping violations. The sport’s federation said it would await “relevant answers” from the IOC and other organizations before making a final decision on Russians. At least one Russian entrant, Tatiana Kashirina, has a doping suspension in her past. The federation announced last month that national teams with three or more doping violations in retesting of 2008 and 2012 samples could be barred. Russian athletes remain listed on the federation’s website.

Five members of the Russian canoeing team were barred from the games, though not suspended from all competitions. Among them is Alexander Dyachenko, a gold medallist in London. Two modern pentathletes and one sailor were also barred.
