MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The IOC made a decision on Sunday not to ban the entire Russian Olympic team from the participation in the upcoming games in Rio, choosing to leave it to the individual sports federations to decide on athletes' participation. The IOC also banned all Russian athletes with doping record from the games.
According to Lisin, the lists must be submitted by Russian sports federations to relevant international federations while the Olympic Committee must approve these lists and guarantee that these athletes are clean.
"We must work real fast as the deadline for submission is Wednesday [July 27]," Lisin said.
The 2016 Summer Olympic games will be held in Brazil from August 5 to August 21.
