Olympic golf tournament on Thursday morning.Da Silva, 44

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The lone Russian track and field athlete at the Olympics is waiting to hear whether she will be allowed to compete.Darya Klishina was the only one of 68 Russians cleared to participate in Rio de Janeiro by the IAAF, largely because she has been based outside Russia for the past three years. But the sports governing body excluded the long jumper from the Olympics days ago after receiving what it said was new information.The IAAF has not disclosed that information, but Klishina appealed against the decision and her lawyer, Paul Greene, has said the case rests on signs that the former European indoor champions drug-testing samples may have been tampered with in Russia.Greene argued that even if bottles containing Klishinas samples had been manipulated, it would not be proof that she had done wrong.Darya had nothing to do with the bottles. The bottles have nothing to do with Darya Klishina, he said after the hearing. They were doing this to everyone, clean athletes, non-clean athletes. Its the system so corrupt even she was caught up. Thats basically what (the IAAF is) saying happened.Klishina attended Sundays hearing in person at the Court of Arbitration for Sports temporary base at a beachfront hotel in Rio de Janeiro, leaving early to return to the Olympic Village by car.CAS said it hopes to issue its verdict by Sunday night, in time for Klishina to compete in long jump qualification at the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday if she wins.She plans to say the truth, which is that shes a clean athlete, Greene told The Associated Press ahead of the hearing.A legal battle two days before Klishinas event begins is not the easiest thing to deal with, but shes a very strong person, he added.Greene said the IAAF case relies on confidential evidence from a report on Russian doping by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren, with a key piece of evidence being scratch marks found on bottles containing drug-test samples she gave in Russia.McLaren wrote in the publicly available version of his preliminary report that Russian security services were able to open supposedly tamper-proof bottles with the intent of swapping tainted samples for clean urine, leaving behind tell-tale scratches on the glass.Unlike in previous legal battles over Russian doping, the Russian Sports Ministry and the countrys Olympic committee have taken a back seat in Klishinas case, with her American management company IMG in a leading role.In comments to the R-Sport news agency, Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said the accusations against Klishina were part of a campaign directed against Russian sport, to discredit it. Its beyond the realm of common sense.The rest of the Russian team remains banned from all international competition over allegations of a widespread, state-sponsored doping program. The sanction was upheld for the Olympics by CAS last month. Fake College Basketball Jerseys .
