TheRussian Federation competed at the2016 Summer Olympics inRio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This wasRussia's sixth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics as an independent nation. The nation finished fourth in the medal standings, with 19 gold and 56 total medals, ensuring that Soviet and Russian athletes had never placed below fourth since they started participating in1952.
On 18 July 2016, an independent investigation commissioned byWorld Anti-Doping Agency concluded that it was shown "beyond a reasonable doubt" that theRUSADA, theMinistry of Sport, theFederal Security Service (FSB) and the Centre of Sports Preparation of the National Teams of Russia had "operated for the protection of doped Russian athletes" within a "state-directed failsafe system" using "the disappearing positive [test] methodology." According to theMcLaren Report, the Disappearing Positive Methodology operated from "at least late 2011 to August 2015." It was used on 643 positive samples, a number that the authors consider "only a minimum" due to limited access to Russian records. Based on these findings theInternational Olympic Committee called for an emergency meeting to consider banning Russia from the Summer Olympics.[2]
On 24 July, the IOC rejected WADA's recommendation to ban Russia from the Summer Olympics and announced that a decision would be made by each sport federation with each positive decision having to be approved by a CAS arbitrator. On 7 August 2016, the IOC cleared 278 athletes, while 111 were removed because of the scandal.[3]
On 7 August 2016, theInternational Paralympic Committee announced that it had voted unanimously to ban the entire Russian Paralympic team from competing at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, in the wake of a larger scandal that exposed the participation of Russian Olympic and Paralympic athletes in astate-sponsored doping program.
On 8 December 2016, silver medalistMisha Aloyan was found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive forTuaminoheptane, a specified stimulant, prohibited in-competition under S6 on the WADA Prohibited List, during an in-competition doping control on 21 August 2016. The results obtained by the athlete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games were disqualified.[4]
On 9 December 2016, Canadian lawyerRichard McLaren published the second part of hisindependent report. The investigation claimed that from 2011 to 2015, more than 1,000 Russian competitors in various sports (including summer, winter, and Paralympic sports) were involved in a cover-up.[5][6][7][8] Emails indicate that athletes who tested positive for banned substances included five blind powerlifters, who may have been given drugs without their knowledge, and a fifteen-year-old.[9]
Media attention began growing in December 2014 when German broadcasterARD reported on state-sponsored doping in Russia, comparing it todoping in East Germany. In November 2015, theWorld Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) published a report and theInternational Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) suspended Russia indefinitely from world track and field events. The United Kingdom Anti-Doping agency later assisted WADA with testing in Russia. In June 2016, they reported that they were unable to fully carry out their work and noted intimidation by armedFederal Security Service (FSB) agents.[10] After a Russian former lab director made allegations about the2014 Winter Olympics inSochi, WADA commissioned an independent investigation led byRichard McLaren. McLaren's investigation found corroborating evidence, concluding in a report published in July 2016 that theMinistry of Sport and the FSB had operated a "state-directed failsafe system" using a "disappearing positive [test] methodology" (DPM) from "at least late 2011 to August 2015".[11]
In response to these findings, WADA announced that RUSADA should be regarded as non-compliant with respect to the World Anti-Doping Code and recommended that Russia be banned from competing at the2016 Summer Olympics.[12] TheInternational Olympic Commission (IOC) rejected the recommendation, stating that the IOC and each sport'sinternational federation would make decisions on each athlete's individual basis.[13][14] One day prior to the opening ceremony, 278 athletes were cleared to compete under the Russian flag, while 111 were removed because of doping.[15]
Unlike the IOC, theInternational Paralympic Committee voted unanimously to ban the entireRussian team from the2016 Summer Paralympics and suspended theRussian Paralympic Committee, having found evidence that the DPM was also in operation at the2014 Winter Paralympics.[16]
The IOC's decision on 24 July 2016 was widely criticized by both athletes[17][18][19] and writers,[20][21][22] as well as members of the Olympic Committee. WADA's president Craig Reedie said, "WADA is disappointed that the IOC did not heed WADA's Executive Committee recommendations that were based on the outcomes of the McLaren Investigation and would have ensured a straight-forward, strong and harmonized approach."[23] On the IOC's decision to exclude Stepanova, WADA director general Olivier Niggli stated that his agency was "very concerned by the message that this sends whistleblowers for the future."[23] A member of the IOC Athletes' Commission,Hayley Wickenheiser, wrote, "I ask myself if we were not dealing with Russia would this decision to ban a nation [have] been an easier one? I fear the answer is yes".[24] Writing forDeutsche Welle in Germany, Olivia Gerstenberger said that the head of the IOC,Thomas Bach had "flunked" his first serious test, adding, "With this decision, the credibility of the organization is shattered once more, while that of state-sponsored doping actually receives a minor boost".[25]Bild (Germany) described Bach as "Putin's poodle".[26]
The positive evaluation of every eligible participant is to be confirmed by a CAS arbitrator, which is "independent from any sports organization involved in the Olympic Games Rio 2016". On 30 July 2016, the IOC specified that following each federation's positive evaluation and its arbitration approval, a three-person IOC panel would be making the final decision.[27] Originally Russia submitted a list of 389 athletes for competition. On 7 August 2016, the IOC cleared 278 athletes, while 111 were removed because of the scandal.[3]
On 17 June 2016, theInternational Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced that Russia will not be permitted to field competitors in athletics due to the November 2015doping-related temporary suspension of theAll-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF) from the IAAF, due to state-sponsored doping. Only Russian athletes tested mainly outside of the country under stringent measures would be allowed to participate in the 2016 Olympics.[28][29] On 21 June 2016, theInternational Olympic Committee upheld the decision of the IAAF and banned ARAF from competing at the Summer Olympics. One month later, theCourt of Arbitration for Sport rejected separate ARAF and "68 Claimant Athletes" appeals of the IAAF decision.[30]
On 24 July 2016, the IOC rejected the IAAF and the World Anti-Doping Agency recommendation that if allowed Russian athletes could only compete as "neutral" athletes under the Olympic flag.[31] Out of the 68 ARAF submitted athletes, onlyDarya Klishina was allowed to compete.[32][33]
Russian weightlifters had qualified their reduced maximum of six men's and four women's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the2014 and2015 IWF World Championships.
On 22 June 2016, theInternational Weightlifting Federation (IWF) announced that Russia would lose twoquota places inWeightlifting at the 2016 Summer Olympics because of doping violations. IWF then went on to state that if the testing of 'B' samples proved to confirm that any country had three or more violations in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic re-testing programme, then that country would be suspended from international weightlifting for a period of one year, and would thereby be excluded from taking part in the Rio Olympics, alongside the already suspended Bulgaria. IWF clarified that after re-testing 'A' samples from 2008 and 2012 that the three countries thereby scheduled for suspension were Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus. Russia appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 6 July 2016.[34]
On 29 July 2016, the International Weightlifting Federation issued a statement, stating that "the integrity of the weightlifting sport has been seriously damaged on multiple times and levels by the Russians, therefore an appropriate sanction was applied in order to preserve the status of the sport." The IWF noted that four further retests from Russian medalists at the 2012 Games had come back positive, that two of the Russian team had been withdrawn for previous bans in accordance with the IOC decision of 24 July 2016, and that of the remaining six entries from Russia, four were implicated in the 'disappearing positive methodology' uncovered by the McLaren report into state-sanctioned doping. IWF expressed its 'extreme shock and disappointment' at the statistics, stated that the Russian weightlifting had brought the sport into disrepute, and then sanctioned Russian weightlifting with a complete ban from the Games; the second team to receive it after Bulgaria.[35] Following the decision, the Executive Board transferred to quota places that came available toAlbania,Georgia andMacedonia (women) and toBelgium,Croatia,El Salvador,Mongolia andSerbia.The ban was upheld by the ad hoc division of the Court of Arbitration for Sports.[36]

On 25 July 2016,World Archery Federation announced that, following the criteria set down for the entry of Russian athletes to the 2016 Summer Olympics, that the three archers competing for Russia had been deemed eligible.[40] On 4 August 2016, the IOC cleared all of the archers to participate.[41]

On 8 December 2016Misha Aloyan was found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for Tuaminoheptane, a specified stimulant, prohibited in-competition under S6 on the WADA Prohibited List, during an in-competition doping control on 21 August 2016.

Following the completion of the2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Russian riders have accumulated spots in the men's team pursuit and women's team sprint. As a result of their place in the women's team sprint, Russia has assured its right to enter two riders in the women's sprint and keirin. Although Russia failed to earn a place in the men's team sprint, they managed to secure a single berth in the men's keirin and two more in the men's sprint, by virtue of their final individual UCI Olympic rankings in those events.
On 26 July 2016,UCI announced that three cyclists with previous bans had been withdrawn by ROC, these including track riderSergei Shilov. A further three unnamed riders were implicated in the 'disappearing positive methodology' uncovered by Richard McLaren's report into state-sanctioned doping. The UCI confirmed that the men's pursuit team from which Shilov was excluded would be allowed to replace him only from the existing pool of accepted athletes. The following day, two further track cyclists,Kirill Sveshnikov andDmitri Sokolov were named as implicated in the methodology, and withdrawn, placing the Russian entry in the men's team pursuit in doubt.[61][63]

Russia has qualified a total of four modern pentathletes for the following events at the Games.Aleksander Lesun andDonata Rimšaitė had claimed one of three available Olympic quota places each in the men's and women's event at the2015 World Championships inBerlin, Germany, while Egor Puchkarevskiy and Gulnaz Guybaidullina added a second spot each to the full roster through the European Championships. Maksim Kustov became the third Russian to qualify for the men's event in Rio, as a result of his world ranking as of 31 May 2016, leading to his selection to the Olympic team instead of Puchkarevskiy.[86]
On 26 July 2016, Maksim Kustov was named as one of the athletes implicated in the 'disappearing positive methodology' as part of the McClaren Report on Russian state-sponsored doping, and excluded from the games, along with reserveIlia Frolov. Because of this doping issue, The UIPM decided to revoke the quota place held by Kustov and thereby awarded it to Ruslan Nakoņečnijs of Latvia.[87]

Russia had qualified a total of six boats for each of the following rowing classes into the Olympic regatta. Four rowing crews had confirmed Olympic places for their boats in the women's lightweight double sculls and large-boat classes (men's four, men's & women's eight) at the2015 FISA World Championships inLac d'Aiguebelette,France, while rowers competing in the men's lightweight four and quadruple sculls were further added to the Russian roster with their top two finish at the 2016 European & Final Qualification Regatta inLucerne,Switzerland.
A total of 32 rowers (21 men and 11 women) were named to the Olympic roster on 13 June 2016, with Athens 2004 gold medalistSergey Fedorovtsev leading the quadruple sculls crew at his fourth straight Games.[88] On 1 July 2016, Fedorovtsev and his men's quadruple sculls crew were disqualified from the Games for failing an off-season doping test on the former's banned substancetrimetazidine, cutting the rowing team size to 28.[89]
On 25 July 2016, theInternational Rowing Federation (FISA) announced the first stage of its decision on Russian eligibility, following the decision of theInternational Olympic Committee in relation to the nation's athletes for the Games. According to the decision issued by the IOC on the previous day, FISA declared that one registered rower, Ivan Balandin, who had been implicated in the 'disappearing positive methodology', was ineligible to compete and could not be replaced. Two more rowers, namely Anastasiia Karabelshchikova and Ivan Podshivalov, were ruled ineligible by reason of previous bans. While the qualified rowers may be moved to the affected boats, the decision placed the entry of the women's eight in doubt, as Russia will only have seven qualified rowers in the open weight category.[90]
The following day, FISA announced the second stage of its decision on Russian eligibility. Having considered the 'international' doping record of the remaining Russian rowers, others had evidently committed doping offences; thus, FISA could not be confident that all but six rowers entered by ROC had undergone sufficient international testing. As such, FISA could only accept entries from six rowers, including one lightweight four, namely Aleksandr Chaukin, Georgy Efremenko,Artyom Kosov,Nikita Morgachyov,Vladislav Ryabtsev and Anton Zarutskiy.[91] No other rowers were sufficiently qualified to fill any of the boats, except the men's coxless four. FISA indicated that it was seeking clarification from Russian rowing as to whether they intended to take such place in the Games.[92] On 31 July 2016, FISA confirmed that the Russian team had accepted he invitation to field a men's coxless four, manned by four of the six cleared rowers;Anton Zarutskiy,Artyom Kosov,Vladislav Ryabtsev andNikita Morgachyov.[93]
Consequently, out of the original 28 rowers named to the official Olympic roster only 6 were allowed to compete in the Olympics.[91] Forfeited quota places were provisionally awarded toGreece (men's lightweight four),Italy (men's eight and women's lightweight double sculls), andAustralia (women's eight). All three nations accepted their invitations.[93] On 3 August 2016, the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected a final appeal by seventeen of the excluded rowers, confirming the single boat for Russia at the Games.[94]

Russian sailors have qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships, the individual fleet Worlds, and European qualifying regattas.[95] Following the completion of thePrincess Sofia Trophy Regatta, the entire Russian sailing team was announced on 2 April 2016, with former Ukrainian windsurferMaksym Oberemko aiming to appear at his sixth Olympics under a new banner.[96]
On 26 July 2016,World Sailing announced that 470 sailor Pavel Sozykin was deemed ineligible, as a result of his implication in the McClaren Report on Russian state-sponsored doping allegations. On 4 August 2016, Sozykin's removal was reversed and all five sailors were cleared to participate.[68]
Hence, six named sailors were eligible to compete, pending confirmation by a CAS arbitrator in line with the procedures set out on 24 July byIOC.[97]

Russian swimmers have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)):[99][100] To assure their selection to the Olympic team, swimmers must finish in the top two of each individual event with the federation's corresponding standard slightly faster than the FINA A-cut at the Russian Championships & Olympic Trials ( 16 to 23 April) inMoscow.[101]
A total of 37 swimmers (24 men and 13 women) were selected to the Russian roster for the Olympics, including London 2012 medalistsAnastasia Valeryevna Zuyeva,Yuliya Yefimova, andVladimir Morozov, and 2014 Youth Olympic backstroke championEvgeny Rylov.[102]
On 25 July 2016,FINA, following the guidelines set out by the International Olympic Committee, announced that seven swimmers declared by theRussian Olympic Committee for the Rio games were deemed ineligible – four, Mikhail Dovgalyuk,Yuliya Yefimova,Nataliya Lovtsova and Anastasiya Krapyvina, because of previous doping bans, and three,Nikita Lobintsev,Vladimir Morozov andDaria Ustinova, because of being implicated in the 'disappearing positive methodology' uncovered by the McClaren report. The status of relay teams involving these ineligible swimmers remained unclear.[103] On 4 August 2016, Morozov and Lobintsev were reported to be cleared for participation by the IOC.[104] On 5 August 2016, the date of the opening ceremony, Yuliya Yefimova, Natalya Lovtsova, Daria Ustinova, Mikhail Dovgalyuk, and Anastasiya Krapyvina were cleared for participation.[62] Consequently, all of the declared Russian swimmers were allowed to participate.
