An appeal of a ban for wide-spread doping was rejected, and Russian track and field athletes will not compete in Rio.
Russia has reacted with anger after its bid to have a ban on its track and field athletes lifted to allow them to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games ended in failure.
The Court for the Arbitration of Sport rejected the appeal made by the Russian Olympic Committee and 67 athletes Thursday, a decision that has led to the country's sports minister calling for the disbanding of the world's athletics governing body.
