The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced the suspension of the entire Russian delegation from the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games due to a state-sponsored doping scandal revealed by the McLaren Report. The decision highlights the Russian government's failure to protect its athletes and the corruption within the anti-doping system. In contrast, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed some Russian athletes to participate under certain conditions. Russia has the option to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport within 21 days and may pursue civil legal action if necessary. The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games are scheduled from September 7 to 18.
