Russia's
Olympic team continued to take shape on Wednesday July 27,2016 as fencing became the
latest sport to declare the country's athletes eligible for Rio.
Fencing's
world governing body the FIE said it had 're-examined the results' of
the drug tests taken by the 16-strong Russian team over the last two
years and all were negative.
Russia won two silvers and a bronze in the fencing competition at London 2012.
Fencing
joins archery, badminton, equestrian, judo, shooting and tennis in
clearing all of Russia's proposed athletes for the Rio Olympics, which
starts on August 5,2016
Each
international federation responsible for a sport in the summer Games
was asked by the International Olympic Committee on Sunday to
individually vet the anti-doping records of its Russian athletes before
clearing them to compete.
