IOC Frees Belarusian Athletes from Restrictions, Emphasizing Rights and Neutrality

The IOC says Belarusian athletes can compete without government-imposed restrictions, allowing participation as individuals (AINs) at events including Paris 2024 and Milano Cortina 2026, to uphold athletes’ right to compete free from political interference. The Belarus NOC is in good standing, and the policy does not apply to Russia, whose ROC remains suspended amid ongoing anti-doping scrutiny; LA28 and 2028 Winter Youth Olympics qualification windows begin this summer.

IOC Faces Backlash Over Russia and Belarus Return to Sport Decision

The president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has criticized European governments for their criticism of the plan to reinstate Russian and Belarusian athletes to international sport despite a ban over the invasion of Ukraine. The IOC issued a set of recommendations to individual Olympic sport bodies, by which they could decide to approve individual Russian or Belarusians to compete as neutral athletes, while continuing a ban from team sports. The Lausanne-based IOC’s latest guidelines to allow for their return to world sport cite human rights concerns for Russian athletes and the current participation of Russians and Belarusians in some sports as reasons for the decision.
