2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil - Russia's 11-strong judo squad allowed to compete at Rio Olympic Games

The International Judo Federation - which lists Vladimir Putin as its honorary president - will allow the sport's Russian squad to participate in the Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee has left it up to the world governing bodies of each sport to decide if Russian teams can go to Rio after the World Anti-doping Agency said there was a state-sponsored programme of doping in Russian sport.
