Sole Russian track athlete banned from Rio, quickly appeals
None
The IAAF said Saturday it has banned the only Russian in Olympic track and field from competition and that she is appealing the ruling.
The eligibility of long jumper Darya Klishina was revoked by the IAAF based on new information it received last week, spokesman Yannis Nikolaou told The Associated Press.
He would not specify what the new information is or who delivered it, though Klishina's attorney Paul Greene told the AP the case revolves around "scratch marks" on Klishina's doping sample bottles, identified as part of World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren's work.
