doping scandal.
尽管世界反兴奋剂机构(Wada)因兴奋剂丑闻而建议对俄罗斯代表团全面禁赛，但是最终被允许参赛的俄罗斯运动员数量还是超过了最初申报数量的三分之二。

have "the cleanest team" at the Games.

"The Russian team may have experienced the toughest checks of the Olympics,
because they had to go through multiple tests and checked," said Zhukov.
朱可夫说道：“俄罗斯代表团所经历的检查可能是奥运会最严格的，因为运动员们必须经过多次测试和检测。”
"On top of all that, Russian athletes are going through additional testing
which is taking place at the Olympic Village.
“除此之外，俄罗斯运动员们还要再奥运村里接受额外的检测。”
"So, as of now, the Russian team is probably the cleanest in Rio."
“因此，从目前来说，俄罗斯代表团也许是里约奥运会上最纯净的队伍。”
What’s the background?
这件事情的来龙去脉是什么?
The IOC asked individual federations to decide whether Russians could
compete after an independently commissioned Wada report found evidence of a
four-year, state-run "doping programme".
之前Wada发布了一份独立委托报告，找到证据显示俄罗斯有一个为期四年的、由国家进行的“兴奋剂计划”，随后国际奥委会便要求单项体育项目联合会自己决定是否允许俄罗斯运动员参赛。

tennis players, six sailors, five equestrian riders, three archers and one
golfer, among others, on Thursday.

entered for Rio last week and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) ruled the

自从体育仲裁法庭分部于7月26日在里约开设以来，已经听证了18起案件，打破了一届奥运会中听证案件的记录。

IOC decision of 24 July, which set out the criteria for the admission of Russian
athletes to compete in Brazil.
