The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) rejected applications from all Russian athletes for participation in international competitions, including the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, except for long jump athlete Darya Klishina, head of the legal department at the Russian Olympic Committee Alexandra Brilliantova said on Sunday, TASS reports.
"The refusals were received by everyone, except for Klishina," she said.
"Exactly these refusals and the reasons for those the Russian Olympic Committee and 68 athletes in their claim to CAS will be arguing," she said. "All 68 people have filed claims, including referring to refusals of the kind."
IAAF also rejected an application from two-time Olympic gold medalist pole vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva, her coach Evgeny Trofimov told TASS on Sunday.
"Lena has received a refusal, like all the others," he said. "Klishina must be an exception as she is trained outside Russia.".
