The Badminton World Federation will consider allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutrals in international competitions, the sport's governing body said on Wednesday , a month after they had extended the ban.
Last month, the BWF said there was no"satisfactory justification" to lift the suspension on players and officials from the two countries when it extended the ban. "The guiding principle for BWF is that athletes should always be allowed to participate in sport competitions without judgement of their passport and separate of any geo-political conflict outside the control of the sports movement," it said.
"BWF Council will then deliberate on the merits of the principles, framework and timeline to potentially lift the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes."
