IOC and IPC Lift Ban on UK Hosting Olympic Events, Acknowledge Neutrality for Paris Games
Apr 19, 2024, 12:07 PM
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) have lifted their restriction on Britain hosting Olympic-related events following a policy reversal by the UK government regarding the participation of Russian athletes as neutrals in the upcoming Paris Games. This decision came after the UK government sent a letter to Olympic chiefs, indicating a shift in its stance, which was previously more stringent. Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer confirmed that the government's communication with the IOC and IPC acknowledged the final neutrality rules for the Paris Games, which ensure that Russia and Belarus are not represented as states. This development contradicts previous claims by ministers that their policy had not changed.
