Russia’s appeal against the International Olympic Committee’s decision to suspend its membership has been dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The IOC suspended the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) “with immediate effect” in October for “a breach of the Olympic charter”.
The ROC recognised regional organisations from four Ukrainian territories illegally annexed by Russia since its full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
The suspension by the IOC means the ROC is no longer entitled to operate as a national Olympic committee.
