Australia is demanding the most stringent anti-doping measures surround the path to reintegrate Russia into the Olympic fold.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has provisionally lifted its suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), a significant step ahead of the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
The ROC was suspended in October 2023, in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, for recognising regional Olympic councils in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine - Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
