As noted in the statement, the presence of athletes, coaches and officials of the Russian Luge Federation may lead to an increased risk of violation of the security and integrity of tournaments.

On March 2, 2022, the FIL Executive Committee suspended Russians from participation in international competitions and banned the holding of tournaments under the auspices of the FIL in Russia.
