On 31 July 2008, Yelena Soboleva, Tatyana Tomashova, Yuliya Fomenko, Darya Pishchalnikova, and Gulfiya Khanafeyeva were provisionally suspended by IAAF for doping offenses.[3] Nine medals won by Russians in athletics at the 2008 Olympics were later stripped due to doping violations.

* On 16 August 2016, the Russian women's 4 × 100 metres relay team was disqualified for doping. The Russian team members were stripped of their gold Olympic medals, as Yuliya Chermoshanskaya had her samples reanalyzed and tested positive for two prohibited substances.[6]
The IOC requested that the IAAF modify the results, and the medals were redistributed accordingly.[7][8]

Russia qualified both its men's and women's basketball teams for the Olympic tournament when each took first place at their respective continental tournaments (EuroBasket 2007 and EuroBasket Women 2007). Of the four tournaments since Russia began competing separately, 2008 was the second appearance of the Russian men's team and the fourth of the women's team, which took bronze in 2004.

Alexandr Kolobnev finished fourth in the men's road race, but as Italian Davide Rebellin, who won the silver medal, was stripped of that medal for testing positive for CERA after the event, the possibility exists for Kolobnev's placing to be upgraded.[14]
