The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) today rejected the appeal of Russian athletics and kept him out of the Olympics in Rio.
TAS's opinion, published on its official website, maintained the suspension against Russian Athletics Federation decreed by the International Athletics Federation (IAAF) for the doping scandal.
An appeal against the decision of the IAAF was presented by 68 Russian athletes, including among them the czarina of the pole vault, Yelena Isinbayeva , and the Russian Olympic Committee.
TAS failure could be key to the presence of Russian Olympic team in Rio on Monday after McLaren report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) doping accused Russia of State during the Winter Games in Sochi.
"In my view this is a subjective decision, a somewhat politicized decision which has no legal basis," said Sports Minister of Russia Vitaly Mutko, nothing know the opinion of TAS.
The ruling was announced in Lausanne by the Secretary General of TAS, Matthiue Reeb, who said that this may be appealed within 30 days.
CAS has confirmed the validity of the argument stating that the IAAF athletes of the suspended federations can not participate in competitions organized by the IAAF, according to the Olympic Charter, "unless it meets specific criteria".
Therefore, leave the door open to some Russian athletes "that meet these criteria are allowed to compete at the Games in Rio".
This criterion is to train abroad for several years and have been controlled by anti-doping agencies from other countries.
At the moment, only long jumper Darya Klishina, bronze at the Europeans in 2014 and national champion last June, can participate in the Games to train in the United States .
