VOICED : COI confirma participacion de 271 atletas rusos en Rio

The transcript discusses the participation of Russian athletes in the Rio 2016 Olympics amidst doping allegations. Initially, 271 athletes were cleared to compete, while the McLaren report led to scrutiny of over a hundred athletes. Despite the scandal, Russia managed to send full teams in most disciplines. However, 181 athletes were excluded from the original list of 387. The message from the Olympic Committee was clear: there is no tolerance for doping. Some excluded athletes appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport just before the Olympics began.
