RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest from the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

A Swiss court has thrown out a $1 million lawsuit filed by Kuwait against the IOC over the Gulf nation's suspension from the Olympics.

The IOC suspended Kuwait's Olympic committee last October, citing government interference.

In a ruling issued Tuesday, a civil court in Lausanne, Switzerland, rejected the Kuwaiti government's suit against the IOC.

The court ordered Kuwait to pay the IOC 11,125 Swiss francs ($11,500) in court costs.

The suspension prevents Kuwaiti athletes from representing their country at the games in Rio de Janeiro, which start Friday.
