MOSCOW, December 15, Andrey Simonenko. President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Stanislav Pozdnyakov said that the point of the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to remove the ROC is to work for the future, when “the foam subsides.”
In March, the IOC Executive Committee recommended that Russians and Belarusians be allowed to participate in international competitions in a neutral status if they are not associated with the military structures of the countries and did not speak out in support of the SVO. In the fall, the IOC suspended the ROC due to the inclusion of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in the Olympic councils. CAS announced on November 6 that it had registered the ROC's appeal against the IOC's suspension.
“»The objectivity of CAS is critically low, and how can we even talk about it if CAS is headed by the Vice-President of the IOC? But the point of our claim is that we are working for the future. When the political foam subsides, we must have everything taken by the regulations legal actions,” Pozdnyakov said in a report presented at the Olympic meeting of the ROC.
On December 8, the IOC announced the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to the Games in Paris in an individual neutral status, subject to a number of criteria. The competition will be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
