The International Olympic Committee (IOC) have taken the toughest stance by calling for all Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials to be banned from international sport.
In a statement that will put huge pressure on FIFA to kick Russia out of World Cup qualifying, they said: "In order to protect the integrity of global sports competitions and for the safety of all the participants, the IOC EB recommends that International Sports Federations and sports event organisers not invite or allow the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international competitions."
This comes following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last week, ordered by President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.
