Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed today the current situation with the 2016 Olympic Games and the doping sanctions that have kept many Russian athletes out of competition. While speaking with the Russian Olympic team at the Alexander Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace, Putin noted that any medals won in Rio will be “devalued” with the absence of many Russian athletes.

While addressing the athletes and the press, Putin proclaimed that the state of non-admission of many Russian athletes at the Rio Games “has gone beyond not only the legal field, but in fact common sense.”

On Sunday it was announced by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that Russia as a country would not be banned, but instead athletes who fell under certain conditions, including having tested positive for a banned substance in the past, would have their Olympic fates determined by their sports governing bodies. FINA, swimming’s governing body, announced on Monday that a total of seven swimmers would be banned from participating in the upcoming Games.
