"All sportsmen who have not been convicted or are not under suspicion of doping should have the right to compete," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"That is the decision we are counting on." The International Olympic Committee's executive board are to hold a conference call tomorrow to discuss banning Russia from the Rio Games starting on August 5.
