The Stepanov's say the IOC made an "unfair decision based on wrong and untrue information" and reveal that Stepanova told the IOC she would have been willing to race under the Russian flag. She has asked the IOC to reconsider their decision. *2nd article *The Guardian: Whistleblower Stepanova Hits Out At IOC After Being Banned From Rio *Sign Petition To Get Stepanova Into Rio

Yesterday the IAAF voted unanimously to maintain Russia's ban from international track and field competition ahead of the Rio Olympics. We've pull out the most important/interesting details that came out of the press conference with Seb Coe and the independent task force leader, Rune Andersen.

The IAAF Meets today in Vienna to decide Russia's Rio fate. Come here at 11AM ET to watch the post-meeting press conference.

The next step is the Russian Federation's elections this weekend and then another visit by the IAAF Taskforce. A Russian spokesperson said, “We are glad to have had the opportunity to meet with the IAAF Taskforce for constructive and professional discussions. We are committed to working with Rune Andersen and his colleagues moving forward to meet all IAAF requirements.”

The five-member team is lead by Norwegian international anti-doping expert Rune Andersen.

22 of the 24 voting members were in favor of the ban; only one was against. Russian athletes will not be able to compete in any international competitions and Russia will not be able to host the 2016 World Race Walking Cup or World Junior Championships. To regain membership to the IAAF, the new federation would have to fulfill a list of criteria.

German journalist Hajo Seppelt has come up with another stunner. Secret recordings look really bad for the Olympic champ. Plus it's alleged that World Marathon Major champ Liliya Shobukhova paid out $600,000 in bribes that the IAAF Treasurer was aware of. How high up the food chain did that go?

She was first in 2010 and second in 2011.
