“The Russian Paralympic Committee are unable to ensure compliance with and enforcement of the IPC anti-doping code and the world anti-doping code within their own national jurisdiction and they can not fulfil its fundamental obligation as an IPC member.

“I’ll come back stronger at the Tokyo Olympics to win Olympic gold,” he said Saturday evening from the hospital in Rio, where he is due to undergo surgery. “I also want to thank my teammates and all the staff and fans for their support.”
