A three-person International Olympic Committee, IOC panel will make a final ruling on which individual Russian athletes are allowed to compete in the Rio de Janeiro Games.The IOC's ruling executive board said, the panel will decide on the entry of Russian athletes whose names have been forwarded to compete by their international sports federations and approved by an independent arbitrator.IOC spokesman Mark Adams said, this panel will decide whether to accept or reject that final proposal.The move comes amid a doping scandal that has led to the exclusion of more than 100 Russian athletes connected tostate-sponsored cheating. Over 250 Russian athletes have been cleared to compete by the federations.Adams said, the panel will review every athlete cleared by the federations, but will not reopen the cases of those whohave been barred. Rejecting calls by more than a dozen anti-doping agencies for a complete ban on Russia, the IOC left it to the federations to vet which athletes could compete or not.
