Local Editor

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not planning to meet with IOC President Tomas Bach in the near future, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

"Such a meeting is not on the agenda," Peskov said.

He added that Moscow is waiting for the final IOC verdict on Russia’s participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Russia has limited time for "legal maneuvering" to defend the rights of its athletes after a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport [CAS] on Thursday, Reuters quoted Peskov as saying.
