STORY HIGHLIGHTS

 * IOC backs IAAF's Russian suspension
 * But individual Russian athletes could go to Rio
 * Any would compete under the Russian flag
 * Kenyan athletes have to prove they are clean



(CNN)The International Olympic Committee has backed the sanctioning of Russia
track and field athletes over the country's lack of anti-doping efforts, but
says individual Russian athletes could be cleared to compete at August's Rio
Games.

On Friday, athletics' governing body the IAAF upheld its previous ban on Russian
track and field athletes competing on the global stage.





And following Tuesday's summit in Lausanne, the IOC said it planned to "fully
respect the decision of the IAAF Council."

However, IOC president Thomas Bach gave some hope to Russia's athletes, saying
he expected some individual Russians to take part if cleared by the IAAF and
that "they will compete under the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee."
Such a stance would be in direct contrast to that of the IAAF, which stated that
any individual Russians allowed to compete "because they have been outside the
country and subject to other, effective anti-doping systems" would "not be for
Russia but as a neutral athlete."

Inside Rio's 24-hour anti-doping lab 02:23
But the IOC deemed competing under the Russian flag was appropriate as only the
Russian Athletics Federation had been banned and not the Russian Olympic
Committee.



However, in response the IAAF said Tuesday it would "now work with the IOC to
ensure the decision is respected and implemented in full."
Should Russian athletes only be allowed to compete under a Russian flag, it
would create a potentially difficult situation for whistleblower Yuliya
Stepanova, whose evidence effectively led to the revelations of systematic
doping within Russian track and field.
Stepanova has been relocated to Canada but the 29-year-old middle-distance
runner had hoped to qualify for and compete in Rio under the IOC flag.
Any Russian athletes hoping to compete in Rio would have to undergo further
doping checks.
As will those from Kenya, which has also been declared non-compliant with the
World Anti-Doping Agency code and whose athletics team has also been threatened
with possible Olympic exclusion in the past.
The IOC statement said that "the presumption of innocence of athletes from these
countries" was currently "being put seriously into question."

Explaining the situation in both countries, Bach said: "In Kenya, you have a
lack of funding and attention from national bodies, and in Russia you have
serious allegations about manipulations of the doping system.
"In effect, it leads to the same challenge: To ensure the same playing field
where the anti-doping system has been affected in different ways."

IAAF official: Russian officials ignoring doping rules 01:02
Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said the country's clean
athletes would appeal against the suspension and told the IOC summit they would
take the matter to the Court of Arbitration of Sport, calling such a ban
"legally indefensible."
Russia has not ruled out a complete boycott of this year's Olympics, according
to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Asked if a wholesale boycott could prove a reality, Peskov told reporters via a
conference call: "I can only say that no one wants to create a precedent like
this.
"President Putin is a convinced supporter of Olympic ideals, and a convinced
enemy of anything that may harm these ideals.
"But beyond all doubt, we intend to defend the interests of our sportsmen -- I
mean, those sportsmen who are not associated in any way with doping use."

Bach defended the IAAF at the conclusion of the IOC summit, and said the aim of
its own proposals was to "keep dopers away from Rio 2016 by doing everything in
the disciplinary procedures following the comprehensive testing and
pre-testing."
He said officials planned to go after dopers' entourage, including coaches and
doctors, in a bid to further clean up the Games.
Bach also singled out the Russian Olympic Committee for praise, saying it had
been "mentioned in a very positive way for their work" despite the potential for
more allegations in the latest World Anti-Doping Agency independent commission
report on allegations of systematic doping at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in
2014. That report is due out on July 15.
