A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin would not say whether the country's entire team could boycott the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro if its track and field team remains banned from competing.
The International Olympic Committee is holding a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the IAAF's decision to maintain its ban on Russian track and field athletes for the Rio Games and to take additional steps to ensure a "level playing field" for all competitors.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says it would be premature to comment on the Russian reaction before the IOC had announced its decision, and said "nobody wants such precedents" when asked about a potential boycott.

Russia's parliament has mentioned the Spanish Inquisition in warning the International Olympic Committee not to inflict "collective punishment" on Russian athletes.
The IOC is meeting to take stock of the IAAF's decision to maintain its ban on Russian track and field athletes for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and to take additional steps to ensure a "level playing field" for all athletes in the upcoming games.
The Russian State Duma said in a statement adopted Tuesday that the ban would "breed divisions and suspicion among the athletes from different nations" and claimed it would represent "collective punishment" used by the Spanish Inquisition and totalitarian regimes.
The Duma said it counts on the IOC to come up with an "objective decision" that "will not put into question the ideals and goals of the Olympic movement."
