"After an evaluation of not only the riders but also the horses, we concluded there is no trace of the use of forbidden substances or malpractice amongst the athletes," states Ingmar De Vos. "Therefor we have no reason not to welcome the Russian theme in Rio."
In total about five athletes are selected to represent Russia at the Olympic Games. In the past years none of them have tested positive on forbidden substances. "It is not fair to disqualify Russia, caused to malpractice in other sports."
