CAS partially cancelled IOC decision from 24 July
The Court of Arbitration for Sport considered the application filed by the Russian rowers Ivan Podshivalov and Anastasia Karabelschikova and canceled paragraph 3 of the IOC Executive Board decision dated 24 September 2016, according to which the ROC was not entitled to enter in the Olympic Games any athlete who previously has been sanctioned for anti-doping violation. In result, a number of athletes may be entered in the Games, subject to the approval of IFC Review Panel based on criteria stipulated by IOC.
The athletes were represented by Legal Sport.
