Maria Sharapova has been named in the Russian Federation's tennis team for this summer's Olympics in Rio, despite currently serving a doping suspension.
The 2004 Wimbledon champion tested positive in January for meldonium, on the banned list since the start of the year, and was provisionally suspended on 12 March.
The World Anti-Drugs Authority later admitted doubt over whether the substance could still be in her body from when it was legal last year.
Russia's tennis federation said that Sharapova's participation at Rio "should be resolved" this week, allowing her to compete in the Games this August.
The Federation's track and field athletes are banned from international competition over recent doping scandals, though other sports remain unaffected.
