The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has presented a logo for Russian athletes who will be eligible to perform at the Games in Pyeongchang.

They have no right to use the Russian flag and anthem, but will come out under the name "Olympic athletes from Russia".

The logo will be placed on the uniform of athletes instead of the emblem of Russia, the logo of the Russian Olympic Committee and the flag of the Russian Federation.

The color of the logo can not be changed.

_________________________ Recall, on December 5, the IOC disqualified the Russian national team from the Olympics due to the doping scandal. Take part in it will be able to "clean" athletes under the Olympic flag.

For the use of doping by athletes, the IOC has already seized 11 Sochi-2014 medals from Russia.

Russia lost the first place in the Olympics in Sochi on the number of medals.

In 2016, a doping scandal broke out after the reports of Richard McLaren, who led the WADA investigation.

They said that Russian athletes were involved in the manipulation of doping tests at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. In addition, the ex-minister of sports Vitaly Mutko was accused of doping fraud, and to replacing the doping tests for "clean" were involved senior officials of Russia.
