The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed a Russian appeal against a ban imposed by athletics governing body the IAAF over state-run doping, barring the country's track and field team from the Rio Games. A statement from the Lausanne based court said, the CAS Panel has confirmed the validity of the IAAF's decision to apply Rules which state that athletes whose national federation is suspended by the IAAF
are ineligible for competitions held under the IAAF Rules.
The IAAF welcomed the CAS tribunal ruling. Meanwhile the IOC said it will study the CAS decision before a conference call on Sunday with its executive board.
