Athletes will be required to undergo a special screening
International Judo Federation (IJF) allowed athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete under a neutral flag in international competitions under its auspices.
The IJF will also conduct special surveys for representatives of these countries. One of his obligatory points will be the monitoring of social networks for the lack of war propaganda in Ukraine.
Earlier, the Council of the World Taekwondo Federation decided to allow Russians and Belarusians to compete in a neutral status. At the same time, World Taekwondo will continue to support Ukrainian athletes in ensuring their participation in competitions.
The IOC Executive Committee recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes be returned to international competitions in a neutral status. At the same time, teams from Russia and Belarus, as well as athletes who support the war or have a contract with the armies of the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus, are not allowed to participate in the tournaments.
The National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine sent letters to the Olympic committees of other countries and international federations regarding the exclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions.
Also, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to boycott the qualifying tournaments for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, which will allow Russian and Belarusian athletes.
