Nadezhda Sergeeva a member of the Russian women's bobsled team who tested positive for banned heart medication is seen
The Russian athletes were punished by the International Olympic Committee before these games in response to Russia's alleged state-sponsored doping program that marred the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
"That is an automatic decision", he told reporters. "This is a very objective condition and if this objective condition is met, then the sanction is lifted".
The IOC unanimously upheld its ongoing suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee, after two anti-doping rule violations marred good behavior by the Olympic Athletes from Russia team.
The Russian team was barred from the Olympics in December for doping at the Sochi Games, but the IOC invited 168 athletes from the country to compete under the Olympic flag. "The ROC is an absolutely full-fledged member of the Olympic family".
Sergeeva - who finished 12th in the two-woman bobsleigh event in Pyeongchang - tested positive for an angina medication with performance-enhancing properties on February 18, the Russian bobsleigh federation announced on its Facebook page.
The two Russians who tested positive in Pyeongchang so far are curler Alexander Krushelnitsky, who was stripped of his bronze medal, and the bobsled pilot Nadezhda Sergeeva.
President Thomas Bach said today that the decision on Russian reinstatement would come from the executive board after hearing from the IOC Session on the matter.
She was the second Russian to fail a drug test here.
"I was the senior coach at that time, so they fired me automatically", he said, adding he believes Dementiev was a clean athlete tricked into taking banned substances because he was "too trusting". The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Saturday that Sergeeva had admitted to an anti-doping violation.
They are hailed as the vanguard of a new generation of clean Russian cross-country skiers, all are under the age of 23 and all are coached by a man who was once suspended for doping offenses.

Stanislav Pozdnyakov, head of the Russian delegation, blamed "negligence rather than malicious intent" for the positive tests in a bid to have the suspension lifted for Sunday's closing ceremony.
Rodchenkov now lives in hiding in the United States. "The acrimony caused by Bach's mismanagement should be his undoing", Walden said.
