Olympic chiefs have warned besieged Ukraine that any Paris 2024 boycott would be a 'violation of the Olympic charter' amid major backlash over the possible inclusion of Russian athletes.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) are "exploring a pathway" to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus - whose troops are actively invading Ukraine - to compete under a neutral flag at next summer's Games.
That decision has left Ukrainian leaders disgusted with President Volodymyr Zelensky adamant that the IOC cannot create any neutrality in sport by opening the door to Russian and Belarusian athletes.
