All 11 Russian boxers have been given the green light to compete at the Olympics in Rio.

The International Olympic Committee has left it up to each sport's governing body to decide whether or not to include Russian competitors following allegations of a state-sponsored doping programme.

The International Boxing Association has announced today that after analysing each boxer's previous drug tests, it has been concluded that none of them is in violation of the rules.

A statement read: "AIBA has carried out an individual analysis of the anti-doping record of each of the 11 Russian boxers qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

"That process is now complete and confirmation has been received from the IOC Review Panel that the following 11 Russian boxers are eligible to compete at Rio 2016."

The men's boxing event will get underway on Saturday, while the women's will begin on August 12.
