IOC clears ROC path for Russian athletes ahead of 2028 LA Games

The International Olympic Committee provisionally lifted the Russian Olympic Committee’s suspension, clearing the way for Russian athletes to compete under the ROC at the 2028 Los Angeles Games and beyond after the ROC said it would not operate in Ukrainian territories; the IOC will monitor compliance with anti-doping rules and could require independent testing if RUSADA remains non-compliant, and will review anthem and flag use at a later date.

IOC Lifts ROC Suspension as Russia’s Return Rules Pivot on Doping Oversight

The IOC Executive Board provisionally lifted the ROC suspension because ROC no longer includes regional bodies in territories under Ukraine’s NOC; the previous conditions for Russian participation are no longer applicable for LA28 and the 2028 Winter Youth Games, but returning athletes must still meet anti-doping requirements, with a national RUSADA/ROC program overseen by the ITA and coordinated by IFs. The IOC will not host events in Russia or invite Russian government officials, and a decision on displaying the Russian flag, anthem, or identifications at the Games will be made by IFs and organizers. The IOC remains in solidarity with Ukraine and will continue support through solidarity programs, while monitoring RUSADA governance and reserving the right to reassess measures by 2028 if compliance questions persist.
