介绍:
Russia's Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko responded to the recent suspension of Russian athletes from international sports by the IAAF on Sunday.
The IAAF and the IOC have temporarily suspended Russia from competing in world sporting events due to allegations of wide spread doping among Russian athletes.
Mutko appealed to the IAAF by asking in a press conference if "clean" Russian athletes could be allowed to compete.
"We'll offer to our Olympic committee and approach International Athletes Federation and the International Olympic committee with the proposal that while our participation is suspended, for the time being those of our sportsmen who are clean can take part in all other competitions"
Russia's suspension was official as of Friday.
Athletes like, Yelena Isinbayeva, have been banned from the sporting world indefinitely.
Secretary General of the Russian Athletics Federation Mikhail Butov, stated that moving forward, he intends to restore the Russian athletes’ reputation as well as put them back in the Rio Olympic games.
"The main tasks for the Russian Athletics Federation in this situation are the speedy return of Russian Athletes to international competitions, ensuring an immaculate reputation of all members of the Russian national team, the participation of all Russian Athletes in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and the restoration of the international communities’ full confidence in us."
Mikhail Butov went on to state that doping is an international problem and that everyone should cooperate in solving this issue.
