Efimova\u2019s status for the Games had been uncertain all spring after she tested positive for meldonium\u2014just added to the banned list on January 1. She was officially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/yuliya-efimova-cleared-to-compete-at-rio-olympics\/\">cleared to compete<\/a> in Rio July 12, but that invitation has been revoked\u00a0as Efimova does have a previous\u00a0failed test on her record.<\/p>\n<p>Efimova was suspended for 16 months in the fall of 2013 after testing positive for 7-Keto-DHEA, but she returned in time for last summer\u2019s World Championships. In Kazan, she took down <strong>Ruta Meilutyte<\/strong> to win the world title in the 100 breast. In 2016, she holds the second-fastest time in the world in both the 100 (1:05.70) and 200 breast (2:21.41), and so she looked like a definitely possibility for one or more medals in Rio.<\/p>\n<p><em>Swimming World\u2019s<\/em> official Olympic predictions come out later this week. Efimova was originally on that list but no longer. While the 200 figures to be a tightly-packed final with eight women having already been under 2:23 this year, only three women had broken 1:06 this year in the 100. Efimova has also won a medal in the 100 breast at each of the past four World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>We predicted one other medal for Russia in swimming\u2014<strong>Vladimir Morozov<\/strong> in the men\u2019s 100 free\u2014but FINA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fina-officially-pulls-yulia-efimova-six-other-russians-from-rio-games-in-accordance-with-ioc-decision\/\">announced this morning<\/a> that Morozov is out as well. In total, FINA declared seven Russian swimmers ineligible to swim in Rio\u2014four who had tested positive in the past (including Efimova) and three others who had been listed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/what-the-independent-investigation-into-russias-systematic-doping-program-means-to-swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\">World Anti-Doping Agency\u2019s Independent Person (McLaren) report released last week.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Morozov, who has no record of a suspension, was among that later category, and he will miss Rio. Morozov helped Russia to a bronze in the 400 free relay in London and also won a silver in the 50 free at the 2013 World Championships. He was one of the favorites for gold in the 100 free last summer in Kazan before a false start in the semifinals took him out of the event altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Morozov currently ranks ninth in the world in the 100 free with a 48.09, and a bronze medal did not seem like that much of a stretch. But with Morozov out, our current predictions have Russia getting shut off the podium entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Among the five others banned, only <strong>Daria Ustinova<\/strong> looked like a serious contender for an individual medal. She ranks fifth in the world in the 200 back at 2:06.92 and holds the Junior World Record in that event, but like Morozov, she was also named in the McLaren report.<\/p>\n<p>So, too, was <strong>Nikita Lobintsev<\/strong>, a finalist in the 400 free in Beijing and in the 100 free in London\u2014and also a two-time Olympic medal winner on relays. But the now-27-year-old was likely to be little more than relay depth this time around.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Russia\u2019s medal hopes rest on the shoulders of 19-year-old <strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong>, who in April set a European record in the 200 back with a 1:54.21 and last summer won a bronze medal in the event in Kazan. <strong>Anton Chupkov<\/strong> has an outside shot in the men\u2019s 200 breast, but that\u2019s really about all on the individual level.<\/p>\n<p>Russia did win silver in the 400 free relay at the Worlds last year, but that was with Morozov splitting 46.95 and Lobintsev also contributing a quick leg. (The Russians also can\u2019t count on both the Americans and Australians bomb out in prelims again this year.) The 800 free relay was fourth in Kazan, but by virtue of a positive doping test on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9, third leg swimmer <strong>Mikhail Dovgalyuk<\/strong> is also out of the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The critics of the IOC\u2019s decision to allow Russian athletes to compete in Rio are many, and they are loud. The issue of doping\u2014and the Russian scandal in particular\u2014figures to come up again and again during the Games, but maybe not at the pool. The decisions that the IOC and FINA have made these last two days may knock Russia totally off the podium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By David Rieder When the International
