The International Olympic Committee has lift the ban on all Russian athletes for Rio 2016. The ban was issued early as Russian Federation was accused of state sponsoring doping of athletes after their athlete were tested positive to banned substances.
Russian athletes will now be allowed to competite though they may have to pass some strict conditions set up by the IOC.
Some athlete had voiced their disapproval of what they see as the IOC bowing to a mighty power, that is the Russian government.
The Russian goverment is one of the major supporter of the IOC and this is seen by many as a favor to the Russian government for his long time support.
