The British government is prepared to drop its opposition to Russian and Belarusian athletes participating in the Paris Olympics under new stricter rules by the International Paralympic Committee, ensuring the athletes compete neutrally and do not publicly support the Ukraine war.
The IPC aligns with the IOC's standpoint on Russian and Belarusian athletes participating as neutrals, undergoing independent vetting, competing in neutral attire, and being excluded from ceremonies and medal tables, despite backlash towards earlier leniency.
