IOC decides against blanket doping ban for Russian competitors

The IOC executive decided that any Russian athlete wanting to go to Rio de Janeiro, where the Games start on Aug 5, will have to prove that he or she was not involved in the doping which an independent investigator said was organised by the sports ministry and Russian secret service.
