Olympic Committee Decides Against Blanket Ban on All Russian Athletes

The International Olympic Committee has decided against a blanket ban on all Russians from the Rio Olympics, following allegations of a government-sponsored doping program. 

Instead, the decision on individual athletes' participation will be left with their relevant sports federations. 

This decision comes after the World Anti-Doping agency and other anti-doping organizations recommended a ban on Russia's entire team.
