Albanian long jumper Izmir Smajlaj and two Albanian Athletics Federation officials have been suspended after being accused of using false information to secure an Olympic spot.
The rule allows for countries to send one male or female to Olympic track events, according to The Associated Press. The athletes still must prove their"technical level" in the sports in order to earn a spot.
"The AIU’s mandate is to ensure clean and fair competition, and to hold anyone who may have breached the Integrity Code of Conduct accountable for their actions, including high-ranking officials," said AIU head Brett Clothier.
