IAAF's ban on Russian track and field athletes in the Olympics upheld

This is a huge story. [quote]LINK ]

So far only two Russians have been cleared to participate in the Olympics as neutral athletes. The rest will have to prove that they undertook rigorous testing (the only way to do that seems to be to live in another country, with rigid testing standards). As a result, even people like Yelena Isinbayeva who have never failed a test and aren't even suspected of cheating will not be able to perform in the Olympics.

The IOC will have a few days to make a decision on all Russian athletes outside of track and field.

It has been previously reported that 70 percent of the tampered positives among Summer Olympians belonged to wrestlers or track & field athletes and another 5-10 percent to soccer players.
