Almost immediately after the invasion of Ukraine took place, in a truly unusual reaction, a growing number of sports associations have in recent days taken measures which are aimed not only at preventing the organisation of international sports competitions in Russian or Belarusian territories but also affect the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in sporting competitions held worldwide. The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Recommendation, adopted on 28 February, kicked off and, in a way, resolved a dilemma that many of these associations were facing. Indeed, when its Executive Committee recommended the non-participation of these athletes or teams in international competitions, a cascade of decisions followed from FIFA, ITF, FIBA, ISU, and World Athletics, among others. As for the International Paralympic Committee, although in a first decision it maintained the participation of these athletes and teams in the Beijing Games, although under the Paralympic flag and without being included in the medal table, finally that decision was reversed. For its part, the International Judo Federation announced the suspension of President Putin’s status as its Honorary President and Ambassador.
