The Latest: Kremlin defends not suspending sports minister

The Latest on the Russian doping case (all times local to Rio de Janeiro):

8:55 a.m.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman says Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko has not been suspended from duties because he is not directly accused of covering up doping.

Putin said on Monday that officials named in the McLaren Report into Russian doping cover-ups would be suspended. A deputy sports minister has been suspended.

Dmitry Peskov says that was because Mutko was not named as someone "directly involved" in the cover-up.

While the report says much of the day-to-day administration of doping cover-ups was done by deputy minister Yuri Nagornykh and Mutko's adviser, Nataliya Zhelanova, Mutko is accused of having ordered a cover-up in one case, that of an unnamed foreign soccer player in the Russian Premier League.
