Russia will not receive a blanket ban from Rio 2016 following the country's doping scandal.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will leave it up to individual sports' governing bodies to decide if Russian competitors are clean and should be allowed to take part.

The decision follows a report in which Canadian law professor Richard McLaren said Russia operated a state-sponsored doping programme from 2011 to 2015.

The Rio Games start on 5 August.

Competitors from Russia who want to take part in the Games will have to meet strict criteria laid down by the IOC.

Any Russian who has served a doping ban will not be eligible for next month's Olympics. Track and field athletes have already been banned.

If the IOC were going to punish Russia for LGBT issues; they'd need to do it for the vast majority of African and Middle Eastern nations too :emma: .

OT: Assuming the source is right and the IOC actually goes through with this, then that's good as a whole, but a pity for any legitimate non-doping Russian athletes.
