Berlin, Dhu-AlQa'dah 20, 1437, August 23, 2016, SPA -- Russia will not be allowed to compete at next month's Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro after losing its appeal against a complete ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Tuesday, according to dpa. Earlier this month the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) suspended the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) and therefore the entire Russia team from the 2016 Paralympics, which run from September 7-18, because of state-sponsored doping. "The CAS Panel in charge of this matter found that the IPC did not violate any procedural rule in dealing with the disciplinary process leading to the RPC's suspension and that the decision to ban the RPC was made in accordance with the IPC Rules and was proportionate in the circumstances," CAS said in a statement. "The Panel also noted that the RPC did not file any evidence contradicting the facts on which the IPC decision was based." The International Olympic Committee decided against a ban of all Russian athletes from the just-ended Rio Olympics over the same allegations of systematic doping across sport. That was despite the World Anti-Doping Agency recommending a blanket suspension following two independent reports into widespread drug use in Russia. However, Russia's track and field athletes were barred from the Rio Olympics by international athletics federation the IAAF. --SPA 17:52 LOCAL TIME 14:52 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
