IOC EB recommends no participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials
IOC EB recommends no participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials; and urges all International Federations to relocate or cancel their sports events currently planned in Russia or Belarus. After the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Olympic Movement reaffirmed its mission to contribute to peace through sport and to unite the world in peaceful competition beyond all political disputes. Although the IOC usually chooses to hold a neutral speech in these situations, it decided to recommend two major measures.
First, the IOC EB recommends that International Sports Federations and sports event organisers not invite or allow the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international competitions. Furthermore, no national symbols, colours, flags or anthems should be displayed. Then, the IOC went further in its symbolic sanctions. It urges all International Sports Federations to relocate or cancel their sports events currently planned in Russia or Belarus.
