Russians Okay for Olympics

After the UCI placed sanctions on the Russian cycling federation for non-payment of bills (including salaries to pro riders on the defunct Roslotto team), it appeared that Russian riders would not be able to participate at the Olympics this coming fall. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has overturned the UCI ruling, so that Russia will be able to send cyclists to the Olympics.
