Yuliya Stepanova, Whistle-Blowing Russian Runner, Gets Backing in Olympic Bid

The International Association of Athletics Federations, the governing body of track and field, said Ms. Stepanova should be allowed to compete at the Rio Games.

"Russian sports officials have said they would not name Ms. Stepanova, an 800-meter runner, to the country’s Olympic team; last month President Vladimir V. Putin referred to her as “Judas” for having betrayed the country.

In instituting the ban on Russian athletes, officials left what they described as a “very tiny crack in the door,” the option for athletes who had been living outside Russia and subjected to rigorous drug-testing to petition to compete."
