Head of the Russian Paralympic Committee Vladimir Lukin speaks during a press conference in Moscow on August 8, 2016 following Russia's suspension from the Paralympic Games in Rio over state-run doping. International Paralympic Committee President Philip Craven announced Russia's suspension from the body on August 7 following doping revelations in an inquiry last month, ruling the country out of the September 7-18 event. The International Paralympic Committee's decision to ban Russia from the Paralympic Games in Rio over state-run doping was "beyond belief", Russia's sports minister Vitaly Mutko said. / AFP PHOTO / YURI KADOBNOV
