Rowing Australia has welcomed the decision by FISA, rowing's ruling body, to award its women's eight team a place at the Rio Games, after deciding that the Russian team was ineligible.
FISA announced earlier Tuesday that Russian boats in four categories were being withdrawn from the games, following strict anti-doping criteria announced by the IOC in the wake of allegations of widespread doping and cover-ups in Russia.
Russia's rowing spots are going to Australia, Greece and two teams from Italy, FISA said.
