While the IOC has urged sports federations to readmit Russian and Belarusian athletes, Swiss Olympic has confirmed its position: Russian and Belarusian athletes must always be excluded.
In addition, the umbrella association of Swiss sport continues to demand that civil servants from Russia and Belarus do not exercise any function within international bodies, underlines Swiss Olympic.
The Swiss Olympic Athletes’ Commission supports this position. From his point of view, the Swiss sports federations and their athletes are free to decide themselves on their participation in international competitions in which Russians (or Belarusians) take part.
