The IAAF has outlined conditions Araf must meet for the ban to be lifted.
The Olympic athletics programme begins in Brazil on 12 August.
Russia, which said in November it is "fully committed" to reforms, will only be reinstated if it fulfils strict criteria, including compliance with all Wada and IAAF anti-doping rules.
