The Russian Olympic Committee acknowledged receipt of documents from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) notifying that, based on the results of the cross-checking of doping samples taken during the Olympic Games 2008 of the year in Beijing, a positive result was given 14 samples of Russian athletes.

Now Russia, as warned earlier by IOC President Thomas Bach, may be completely excluded from participation in the upcoming summer Olympics 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

According to the channel Match-TV, among these athletes there are winners of the Olympics-2008:

  • spear thrower Maria Abakumova (silver)
  • high jumper Anna Chicherova (bronze)
  • runner Denis Alekseev (bronze in the relay)
  • runner Julia Chermoshanskaya (gold in the relay)
  • runner Anastasia Kapachinskaya (silver in the relay)
  • Tatyana Firova (silver in the relay)
  • Ekaterina Volkova (bronze in steeple-cheze)
  • walker Denis Nizhegorodov (bronze)
  • weightlifter Nadezhda Evstyuhina (bronze)
  • weight-lifter Maria Shainova (silver)

The “A” samples of all named athletes tested positive for doping. Now the Russian Olympic Committee must provide the IOC with information about which of the athletes included in the letter will be present during the opening and analysis of the “B” sample, which traditionally duplicates the “A” sample in case of any errors.

With the exception of weightlifters Evstyukhina and Shainova, as well as member of the Russian rowing team Alexander Kornilov, all other athletes are representatives of athletics.

As is known, the Russian national team in athletics in full force at the moment suspended from participation in competitions after the publication in the autumn of 2015 of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report on numerous anti-doping rule violations in Russia.

The participation of athletes in the upcoming summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro is still in question. However, the president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, also said earlier that if new data on the use of doping were detected, the entire Russian team could be removed from the 2016 Games.

Earlier, 24 may source from the Tass agency at the Russian Olympic Committee сообщилthat the 31 participant of the Olympic Games in Beijing, who was found out by the IOC in the use of doping after rechecking almost 500 samples of eight years ago, includes 14 Russian athletes.

In May, a scandal involving the Olympiad-2014 in Sochi. Grigory Rodchenkov, who was the head of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory and during the Olympics headed the temporary laboratory in Sochi, told the New York Times that at least 15 Russian prize-winners of the Games-2014 were using doping.
