A 3 person International Olympic Committee panel will make the final ruling regarding individual Russian athletes allowed to compete in the Rio Games
  • Panel will decide whether to accept or reject the final proposal.
  • Panel will comprise three executive board members: Ugur Erdener (Turkey) chairman of the IOC medical commission. Claudia Bokel (Germany) head of the athletes commission and Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr (Spain) vice president of the modern pentathlon federation.
  • Panel will examine every single decision and athlete to ensure IOC is satisfied with the decision taken.
