Stepanova eligible for Rio Games
RUSSIAN doping whistleblower Yulia Stepanova’s application to compete as an individual athlete has been accepted, the International Association of Athletics Federations said yesterday.
The former drugs cheat’s revelations helped expose the massive doping problem in her country and the middle-distance runner left Russia and went into hiding after disclosing the issue.
Stepanova could now make a comeback as soon as July 6 in the 800m after European Athletics approved her participation at the continental championships in Amsterdam.
The IAAF said its doping review board unanimously accepted Stepanova’s application and that they had received more than 80 formal requests from Russian athletes seeking exceptional eligibility to compete in an individual capacity.
