Lawmakers condemn IOC for lifting Russia's Olympic suspension
TL;DR Summary
Lawmakers condemned the IOC's decision to provisionally lift the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee, arguing it sends the wrong message amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even as the IOC says the move does not reflect a change in its stance on the war and has not decided on whether Russia's flag or anthem will be allowed at future Games, including the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
