GB weightlifter Zoe Smith said the IOC made a "bad call" by not banning all Russian athletes from Rio. Smith said "I hate to say it but doping is rife in weightlifting, not just in Russia but across the board." The International Weightlifting Federation is currently deciding on any bans for Russian athletes following a report last week that talked about state-sponsored doping across Russian sport, including more than 100 failed tests in weightlifting. Smith said athletes should take a stand against doping, and hopes that governing bodies will investigate claims that doping is not just a Russian problem.
