Russian athletes have been banned from competing at the Rio 2016 Paralympics following the country's doping scandal. 

 

被爆兴奋剂丑闻后，俄罗斯运动员被禁止参加2016年里约残奥会。

 

The McLaren report, published last month, detailed¹ a state-sponsored doping programme operated by Russia. 

 

The Russian Paralympic Committee is to appeal against the decision to the Court of Arbitration² for Sport. 

 

In contrast to the IPC, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose not to hand Russia a blanket ban from the Olympic Games. 

 

The Rio 2016 Paralympics begin in 31 days' time, on 7 September, and 267 Russian athletes across 18 sports will now miss the Games. 

 

"The anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted³ and entirely⁴ compromised," said IPC president Sir Philip Craven at a news conference on Sunday. 

 

"The Russian Paralympic Committee are unable to ensure compliance⁵ with and enforcement of the IPC anti-doping code and the world anti-doping code within their own national jurisdiction⁶ and they can not fulfill⁷ its fundamental obligation as an IPC member. 

 

"As a result, the Russian Paralympic Committee is suspended with immediate⁸ effect."
