Russia regrets the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s latest rejection of 68 Russian athletes’ appeal against the international federation’s ban from Rio Olympics, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"One can definitely express regret with this decision, which applies to all of our track and field athletes, because collective responsibility is unlikely to be acceptable in our view," he said.
"We are talking about athletes preparing for the Olympics who had nothing to do with doping, no relation to the allegations or suspicions, whose doping samples were tested by foreign anti-doping organizations," Sputnik cited the spokesman as saying.
