CHURCH: The International Olympic Committee is hours away from deciding whether Russia's track and field athletes can compete in the 2016 games. The world governing body for athletics banned the team after a report uncovered widespread doping. Senior international correspondent Matthew Chance is live from Russia with the very latest. So, Matthew, obviously, Russia wanting to see the outcome here that has seen their athletes competing. But what is the sense, how this is likely to end?</s>MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, I think first, on Friday, when IAAF, the world governing athletics body made its decision that it was going to keep the ban on Russian track and field athletes in place. There was first of all anger, but there was also some hope expressed by the sports ministry here and by various athletes. That there could be reprieve from International Olympic Committee. But, I mean, that was always water poured on that by Lord Coe, the president of the IAAF saying that it's them will decide whether the athletes can compete internationally or not. And, you know, in the days since then it sort of emerged that the IOC are most likely going to back up the IAAF in that ban. They may even consider looking at banning all Russian athletes not today but later on this next month, that banning all Russian athletes from taking part in the Olympics. And so, it's just going from bad to worse it seems for the Russians. There was a big investigation, of course as a result of various revelations and allegations and reports about the state of doping in this country. And although progress has been made according to the IAAF, there is still a deep-seated culture that their latest report says in terms of the tolerance towards doping. So, in terms of Russian athletes, particularly track and field athletes going to Rio when it starts then next month, it's looking pretty bad, Rosemary.</s>CHURCH: All right.
