The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it was too early to talk about the admission of Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

" The decision on the participation of athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris has not yet been made.. We are talking about their participation in international competitions in Asia in the upcoming summer sports season.. In none of the documents published by the IOC, you will find a mention of the 2024 Olympics for athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport,"

The IOC also criticized the discussion of the boycott of the 2024 Olympics in Paris by the NOC of Ukraine:.

" The boycott is a violation of the Olympic Charter, which obliges all NOCs to " As history has shown, previous boycotts did not achieve their political goals and served only to punish athletes boycotting NOCs"

Recall, the International Olympic Committee called for the admission of representatives of the Russian Federation and Belarus to international competitions in a neutral status, provided that they were not seen actively supporting the war in Ukraine and comply with doping laws..
