Kirill Sveshnikov leads the Russian team pursuit squad at the 2016 World Championships
Three Russian cyclists who were barred from competing in the Rio Olympics have filed a lawsuit against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and Dr Richard McLaren, claiming that they were "unfairly implicated" in allegations of state-sponsored doping.
Kirill Sveshnikov, Dmitry Strakhov and Dmitry Sokolov were due to compete in the team pursuit at the 2016 Olympic Games, but were barred from the event after being implicated in Russian doping in Dr McLaren's report, which found that more than 1,000 Russian athletes had benefited from state-sponsored doping.
