IAAF says Klishina can compete as neutral athlete (Yahoo Sports)

The IAAF said Sunday its doping review board had ruled U.S.-based Russian long jumper Daria Klishina meets the ”exceptional eligibility criteria” to take part in international competition as a neutral athlete, clearing the way for her to possibly compete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. It said Klishina’s participation was still subject to acceptance by the IOC. The IAAF has already approved an application from Russian athlete and doping whistleblower Yulia Stepanova, who competed at last week’s European championships.
