All 11 Russian judokas approved to compete in Rio

Earlier on Tuesday, eight athletes across canoeing, modern pentathlon and sailing were banned, as seven swimmers and three rowers were on Monday. Some appeals are likely.

WRESTLING – Nenad Lalovic, the president of United World Wrestling, the worldwide federation, said it had begun validating Russian wrestlers who have qualified for the Olympics.

More are falling foul of new rules imposed in the wake of the country’s doping scandal.

The IOC said any Russian athletes with a previous doping suspension will be ineligible to compete at the Olympics.

McLaren’s report last week specifically detailed how Russian state officials allegedly intervened to cover up hundreds of failed drug tests.

International Canoe Federation secretary general Simon Toulson issued a strong rebuke to suspected dopers.

“We await the Russian Rowing Federation’s decision on this possibility”, Fisa said in a statement.

The four other banned canoeists are Alexei Korovashkov – a 2012 bronze medalist in the C2 1,000 meters event – Andrei Kraitor, Elena Anyushina and Nataliya Podolskaya.

The ICF also said that Russian Federation would not be allowed to enter boats in four events in which the excluded athletes would have raced. Austria, Germany, Sweden and Iran are in line to receive places instead. For the Russian rowers entered for Rio, 547 blood and urine tests were conducted since 2011.

Anastasiia Karabelshchikova and Ivan Podshivalov, who had been sanctioned for anti-doping violations in 2007/2008, were also not eligible for the Games.

The IOC was not immediately available to comment. “I was in contact with the president of the International Federation and I am in shock, but we won’t stop the battle”, But told the R-Sport agency.

Russia’s track and field team is nearly entirely banned from the games under an earlier decision from the IAAF, leaving long jumper Darya Klishina as the only athlete eligible to represent Russian Federation out of 68 who were entered.

SHOOTING – The International Shooting Federation (ISSF) has cleared all 18 Russian shooters to compete at the Games.

The New Zealand four is the next in line to take up a spot in the field.

Previously, archery and equestrian sport’s world governing bodies said they had no objection to the Russians entered in their sports.
