The Latest: All 11 Russia boxers declared eligible for Rio
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):
8:20 a.m.
The International Boxing Association says all 11 of Russia's boxers who qualified for the Rio Games have been cleared to participate following a doping review for all Russian athletes.
AIBA said in a statement Thursday that it recommended each boxer be allowed to fight following the reviews, and got confirmation of that assessment from an IOC review panel.
The IOC responded to the Russian doping scandal by placing the burden on international sports federations to determine whether Russian athletes should be allowed to compete in Rio.
