IOC Lifts Russia Ban for 2028 Olympics
The IOC cited the need to ‘unify’ sport and noted that Russian athletes had met anti‑doping conditions.
The move reverses the ban imposed after Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Ukraine and several Western nations have criticised the decision, arguing it legitimises Russia’s aggression.
The IOC recommended that Russian athletes compete under a neutral flag initially.
