A third of the Russian athletes were not allowed to participate because they could not prove sufficiently they were free from doping.
The ones who do attend could prove their innocence and as such are free to participate like the athletes from other nations. We've seen Phelps with red marks from cupping and that was not because he likes to look like a spotted individual that is because he and his trainers believe it will make him faster.
