On February 28, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) called for the non-admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in international competitions. The Committee recommended depriving athletes from Belarus and Russia of the right to compete at international competitions against the backdrop of Russia’s special military operation in the Donbass.
After that, international federations in various sports imposed sanctions on domestic athletes. In particular, Russia was left without international competitions in football, biathlon, hockey and athletics.
