The transcript discusses the new rules adopted by the International Athletics Federation on June 17, 2016, which affect athletes from suspended National Federations, making them ineligible for competitions under IWF rules, including the Olympics, unless specific criteria are met. This particularly impacts Russian athletes, as the Russian Olympic Committee cannot nominate them unless they meet these criteria.
