Two Russian boxers serving doping suspensions have competed while banned, the Reuters news agency has exclusively revealed. Athletes serving doping bans are forbidden from participating in any capacity in competitions or activities related to elite sport, according to the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The Russian Boxing Federation said it was checking the cases identified by Reuters and would give its assessment, without providing a time frame. Karadutov said a list of boxers banned for doping should be published on the federation's website "in big letters" and flash to draw officials' attention.
