Russia files ban appeal

RUSSIA has appealed a ban of its athletics team from next month’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro over doping, the country’s Olympic committee said yesterday.

Russian Olympic Committee spokesman Konstantin Vybornov confirmed by e-mail that the appeal had been filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and would be heard on July 19. If Russia wins, the Olympic application deadline “will be extended” to let Russian athletes apply.
