That's all.
Stolbova and Bukin have never even been suspended for a doping violation so whatever "evidence" they have against them must be pretty thin. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
If there is no doubt about their integrity then they should be invited.The IOC is being very clear. The athletes must be banned so no one thinks they are doping.
“Not being included on the invitation list does not necessarily mean that an athlete has been doped – it should not automatically cast doubt on their integrity.”

I would suggest you start reading this thread from the beginning, as it is all explained there.Stolbova and Bukin have never even been suspended for a doping violation so whatever "evidence" they have against them must be pretty thin. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
And if there is any doubt, they won't be.If there is no doubt about their integrity then they should be invited.

But now the biggest doubt about an athlete is not being invited. They had the opportunity to run as many tests as they wanted!I would suggest you start reading this thread from the beginning, as it is all explained there.
This isn't a criminal procedure. In this instance, as Russian athletes, they have to be proven clean to receive an invitation.
And if there is any doubt, they won't be.

but it is so wrong. So if suddenly I say that I watched to Nathan consuming drugs, they won´t invite him until someone make an investigation to prove his innocence?
yep, +one more he/she must be russian.
The athletes do have appeal rights that they are using. Heartsick for Stolbova and Bukin, and so angry at the Russian government for leaving this state-sponsored doping unaddressed so that it got to this point.exactly, it doesnt matter how many tests you get outside, if you aren't being plucked randomly by the IOC. This is a real farce and all athletes denied with no explanation should sue this woman or IOC in court.
