So faced with the hard question on whether or not to issue a blanket ban on Russia taking part in the Rio Olympics the IOC has dodged responsibility and palmed the responsibility off to the International Federations of each individual sport:
Rio Olympics 2016: Russia not given blanket Games ban by IOC
Problem is that given the timeframe it's unlikely that many federations will be able to conduct the necessary inquiries in the time left. The IAAF had already banned Russian track and field competitors, and had it's decision upheld. It however had a huge report detailing abuses and months of lead time to work with.
