Following clarification from WADA about the inclusion of the drug meldonium on its list of prohibited substances, and the rates of ingestion/excretion of the drug, the FIG has now cleared Russia Cup champion Nikolai Kuksenkov to compete at the Rio Olympics in the autumn.
'I'm an athlete, I just want to do my job and not get involved in politics - I consider myself an honest athlete', said Kuksenkov yesterday. 'I am very pleased that we have received this information, and that the case for my suspension is now closed.'
