The International Olympic Committee has temporarily lifted the restrictions on the Russian Olympic Committee that were imposed after the ROC included the Olympic committees of the occupied territories of Ukraine in its composition. This was reported by the IOC press service, according to UNN.
The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee has temporarily lifted the disqualification of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), which had been in effect since October 12, 2023
The committee stated that this decision was made after a thorough analysis conducted by the IOC Legal Affairs Commission, taking into account that the ROC no longer includes regional sports organizations from territories under the jurisdiction of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine. The IOC also stated that the ROC "confirmed that it does not and will not carry out any activities in these territories."
The IOC Executive Board will continue to closely monitor the situation regarding any activities of the ROC in these territories and reserves the right to take any further measures if deemed necessary
