ROC: agreement with IOC requirements may lead to violation of Russian laws
The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) spoke about the conditions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the admission of Russians to the 2024 Games. The statement is posted on Telegram.
The ROC noted that the IOC may introduce additional restrictions to minimize the number of Russians at the Olympics. “At the same time, agreement even with the current requirements of “compliance” may lead to a violation of Russian legislation,” the organization warned the athletes.
In December 2023, the IOC decided to admit Russians and Belarusians to the Olympics in Paris. They will be able to take part in the tournament as individual neutral athletes.
At the same time, athletes who support a special operation in Ukraine, or who have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to participate in the 2024 Games. In addition, representatives of team sports will miss the tournament.
