The International Association of Athletic Federation (IAAF) has announced that Russian athlete, Darya Klishina, has been barred from the Rio Olympics 2016.
The 25 year old talented.long jumper Darya Klishina received the news a day after she arrived at Rio Janeiro, in Brazil. The imposed ban was invoked as part of a disqualification against the national Federation, following allegations of a state- run doping Scandal.
Darya Klishina, who has been based outside of Russia for the past three years had initially been cleared to compete, and given an exceptional pass to take part in the much coveted games.
Gutted Klishina had already posted pictures.of her arrival at Rio do Jeneira on her installation page, and said she had put in an application for “an emergency meeting ” for a hearing about the said ban.
Klishina’s ban will raise Alot of questions as to either the unfairness.of the ban or the pervasive nature of doping in the Russian Olympic team, if the allegations actually stand up when.closely examined.
