First positive doping test registered in Rio
If in the last minute of the IPC does not change its mind, it is very likely that the entire Russian team be removed from the Paralympic competitions. The reason for this is the report by Richard McLaren, who proved the unreliability of the Russian anti-doping system. McLaren revealed systematic doping in most sports of the Russian team. According to him, over 4 years, was destroyed 35 positive doping tests of athletes with disabilities.
