Anti-Doping Regulation in Rio 2016: Discrimination v Eligibility and Russia v IAAF.

The IAAF published on 23 June 2016 a set of guidelines for athletes seeking exceptional eligibility for international competition under Competition Rule 22.1A. The guidelines followed the IAAF's Council Meeting a week earlier, which decided that the Russian Athletics Federation had not met the verification criteria so it could be reinstated into international competitions.
