Russia’s determination to use state-sponsored doping to dominate the medal haul at recent Olympic Games, as outlined by investigators, did not end there. The country wanted success at the Paralympics, too, and several of its athletes took banned substances to gain an advantage over other disabled competitors.

Now, just as Russia faces the possibility of being barred from the coming Rio de Janeiro Olympics because of doping violations, the country’s Paralympic team has been told it is not welcome at this summer’s Paralympics.

Officials for the Paralympics, the global showcase for disabled athletes that will be held in Rio two weeks after the Summer Olympics conclude, said on Friday that the organization had moved to bar Russia for doping, an unprecedented sanction in the history of disabled-athlete sports.

An investigation into claims of an elaborate doping program by Russia’s former antidoping lab director found that at least 35 drug violations among Russian Paralympians had been covered up by the country’s sports ministry since 2011. An additional 19 doping samples from the last Paralympics, in Sochi in 2014, were tampered with, according to Paralympic officials, who received the names of the implicated Russian athletes on Thursday.
