Rio 2016: Doping whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova given Olympics clearance

Stepanova, who exposed systematic doping in Russian athletics along with husband Vitaly Stepanov, is the first of more than 80 Russian athletes to learn their fate after applying for 'exceptional eligibility' to compete in an individual capacity.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said Stepanova's request was accepted unanimously as a result of her 'truly exceptional contribution to the protection and promotion of clean athletes, fair play and the integrity and authenticity of the sport.'
