Five Russian canoeists barred from Russian Olympics
The International Canoe Federation has become the latest governing body to ban a number of Russian athletes from the Rio Olympics in the wake of Richard McLaren's damning report into state-sponsored doping.
The ICF ruled five sprint canoeists - Elena Aniushina, Natalia Podolskaia, Alexander Dyachenko, Andrey Kraitor and Alexey Korovashkov - ineligible to compete at the Games, but stopped short of issuing a federation-wide ban.
