"It's an incredibly tough decision.

Russia could face a blanket ban after a damning report compiled by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren claimed it operated a state-sponsored doping programme from 2011 to 2015.The IOC is exploring "legal options" before deciding whether to implement "a collective ban" on all Russian competitors for the global showpiece, which starts on 5 August.

A decision by its executive board could come on Sunday.The Russian doping system has meant there are many more athletes around the world that have suffered in the past and will continue to suffer in the future if we don't do everything we can to get rid of the scourge of doping," said Pengilly.Russia will find out in August if it is to be banned from the 2016 Paralympics in Rio.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has "opened suspension proceedings" following the publication of the McLaren report earlier this week.Clean athletes, the Olympic Games and the wider Olympic movement have been mocked," Pengilly said.
However, Russia is an important sporting nation - we want and need them fully involved in the future, but only when they can do it cleanly.
