Swimming's world governing body on Monday July 25,2016 moved swiftly to ban seven
Russians from competing at next month's Rio Olympics in the fall-out
from Russia's rampant state-run doping.
FINA was the first sport to impose bans in light of Sunday July 24,2016 IOC decision, which ruled against a blanket ban on all Russian competitors in Rio, instead leaving it up to individual sports federations to decide whether to accept Russians.
Vladimir Morozov and Nikita Lobintsev, both 4x100m freestyle bronze-medal winners with the Russian team at the 2012 Olympics, and Yulia Efimova, another 2012 Olympic bronze medallist, were among the seven banned
The other swimmers listed were: Mikhail Dovgalyuk, Natalia Lovtcova, Anastasia Krapivina and Daria Ustinova
