World Taekwondo have announced that Russian and Belarusian athletes will be able to return to competition as neutrals despite the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Taekwondo's governing body convened after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that athletes from Russia and Belarus should be allowed to compete as neutrals, provided they do not openly support the invasion or are affiliated with the military.
"The Council reaffirmed its calls for peace and its solidarity with the Olympic community in Ukraine," World Taekwondo said in a statement.
