Swimming’s world governing body FINA has ruled Russian swimmer Evgeny Rylov can continue to compete at the Russian Championships in Kazan.
Earlier this month Rylov was given a nine-month ban by FINA for his participation in a pro-Russian rally supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Rylov competed in the Russian Championships earlier this week, which prompted FINA to review if the terms of his ban had been violated.
FINA released a statement saying, “The Russian Swimming Championships was not a a FINA-sanctioned event and is not linked to any FINA event, in accordance with the decision by the FINA Bureau to exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from FINA competitions through the end of 2022. FINA has reviewed Mr. Rylov’s involvement in the Russian Swimming Championships and will not be taking any further action.”
