Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is developing a position on the recommendations of the IOC
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov spoke about the position of the Kremlin on the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on the admission of Russian athletes to tournaments. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Peskov said that now Russia is developing approaches and position on the recommendations of the IOC. He emphasized that it is necessary to analyze the data before the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
On March 28, the IOC recommended that Belarusians and Russians who did not support the special operation in Ukraine be allowed to compete in a neutral status. At the same time, athletes from Russia and Belarus associated with the armed forces or security agencies of their countries are recommended to be suspended from participating in tournaments. Then it was noted that teams from these countries could not be considered as participants in the competition.
At the end of February 2022, most sports organizations suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus on the recommendation of the IOC. The decision on the participation of representatives of these countries in the 2024 Olympics has not yet been made.
