Press service of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) on its official website published Statement criticizing the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to ban the Russian Olympic team from participating in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
ROC believes this decision is clearly discriminatory.
“This CAS decision is further evidence that civil and sporting discrimination against Russians has reached unprecedented levels ahead of the Games,” the press release said.
On October 2, 2023, the IOC announced the suspension of the PRC until further notice, following the inclusion of the Olympic Councils of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions in the Russian organization.
On February 28, 2022, the IOC appealed to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. Since then they have only participated in local tournaments.
