The International Olympic Committee on Thursday suspended the Russian Olympic Committee for recognising regional organisations from four territories annexed from Ukraine.
The IOC said the ROC would banned with immediate effect and would not be eligible for any funding after it recognised Olympic Councils from the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
They’re going to let them compete under some Olympic title and flag like 2022, and Russia will celebrate their wins all the same. This is an empty gesture without banning their athletes as well.
It seems to clearly say that the IOC will decide on Russian/Belarusian involvement in 2024 at a later date.
