LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The international archery federation has approved the entry of three Russian archers for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro after determining they have no links to doping.
World Archery made the announcement Monday, a day after the IOC decided against imposing a total ban on Russian athletes and authorized individual sports federations to decide on the entry of Russians on a case-by-case basis. It will submit its decision to the IOC.
The archery federation says it is satisfied that the three female Russian archers nominated for the games had been tested "extensively" and have never been sanctioned for doping.
