MOSCOW -- Russia has appealed a ban of its track and field team from next months Olympics in Rio de Janeiro over doping, the countrys Olympic committee said Sunday.Russian Olympic Committee spokesman Konstantin Vybornov confirmed that the appeal had been filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and would be heard July 19.If Russia wins, the Olympic application deadline will be extended to let Russian athletes apply, the ROCs legal department head Alexandra Brilliantova told the Tass news agency.The case is being brought jointly by the ROC and dozens of top Russian athletes.The IAAF, tracks world governing body, suspended Russia in November after a World Anti-Doping Agency report detailed widespread, state-sponsored doping in Russian track and field. The ban was upheld by the IAAF in a vote last month.The IAAF ban allows a small number of Russians to compete at the Rio Olympics if they can show they have been based outside the country and subject to testing from a respected, non-Russian anti-doping agency.Brilliantova said Sunday that she believed only two Russians would fit the criteria out of more than 80 who have applied to the IAAF.
