A German court has dismissed appeals by 84 Russian athletes seeking to compete at the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The state court in Bonn, where the International Paralympic Committee is
based, on Tuesday Sep 06,2016 rejected the athletes’ bid for an injunction forcing
the IPC to allow them to compete.
Another 10 Russians had a similar application rejected on Monday Sep 05,2016
The entire Russian Paralympic team has been barred from the games as
punishment for state-backed doping in the country.
The Court of
Arbitration for Sport upheld the IPC’s decision, and the IPC last week
rejected the athletes’ request for “individual admission” to the games,
which open on Wednesday Sep 07,2016
The German court found that the IPC has no obligation to allow the athletes to compete.
