By
BBC radio just announced that Russian artistic gymnastics team has been officially cleared to compete in Rio!  #cleanrussianathletes #IOC #WADA

Later - breaking news

Valentina Rodionenko alert ...
1. Maria Paseka's back injury is troubling - her participation will only be decided after a doctor's check up on 3 August
2. Angelina Melnikova has injured her hamstring and will be competing watered down routines
3. Extra care had to be taken in proving Natalia Kapitonova's doping record for the Games.  The young gymnast hasn't competed much abroad, so it took time to gather the necessary evidence.
