Russian weightlifting federation appeals against ban imposed for Rio Olympics

Russian weightlifting federation appeals against ban imposed for Rio Olympics

The Russian weightlifting federation will appeal against the ban imposed on its team for the Rio Olympics.

Individual sport federations must rule on whether Russians can compete in Rio following the country's doping scandal.

The International Weightlifting Federation excluded the eight Russians entered for Rio last week after a report into state‑sponsored doping.

The appeal will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport before the Games, which start this Saturday.
