8 more Russians cleared

THE IAAF says its doping panel has cleared eight more Russian track and field athletes to compete internationally as neutrals, and refused 53 other applications. The latest athletes accepted include hammer thrower Sergej Litvinov, who was fifth at the 2009 and 2015 world championships, and Danil Lysenko, the high jump champion at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games. The IAAF assessed the athletes’ history of drug testing to decide if they can compete worldwide while Russia remains suspended for widespread doping.
