MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The ROC approved earlier in the day the provisionally-named Anti-Doping Commission, which its chair Vitaly Smirnov said would include members of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the IOC and heads of international sporting federations.
"The decision on Russian athletes was taken by IOC members and I think that common sense has prevailed, [as well as] a sober approach and a desire to preserve the Olympic movement," Zhukov told reporters.
"The Russian team will have a Russian flag, a Russian uniform, and a Russian crew," he underscored.
