MOSCOW, March 31 — The world’s governing track and field body, World Athletics, has no intention of allowing athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in international events following the recent recommendations from the International Olympic Committee , the World Athletics’ press office announced to TASS on Wednesday.
The IOC recommended on Tuesday that international federations allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under a neutral status, while they would not be able to take part in team events. Another condition is that the athletes should not be supporters of the special military operation or be affiliated with the armed forces or national security agencies.
