Russian swimmers Vladimir Morozov and Nikita Lobintsev have been cleared to compete at the Rio Olympics, their representatives said Tuesday, though there was no official confirmation.
World swimming's governing body FINA, the Russian swimming federation and the Court of Arbitration for Sport(CAS) have not confirmed that Lobintsev and Morozov will in fact be competing in Rio. A ruling by CAS was expected later in the day.
