Russia has been told that it should not assume that sanctions levied against it for running a state sponsored doping programme will definitely be lifted at the end of 2022, and warned that it must continue to follow “strict rules”.
Russian athletes have been barred from competing under the Russian flag since the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) imposed sanctions in December 2019, with competitors at Beijing 2022 due to enter events under the tag of the ROC (Russian Olympic Committee).
