GENEVA, July 7. /TASS/. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced its decision to provisionally lift an earlier imposed suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), the IOC press office said in a statement on Tuesday.
"The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board (EB) has provisionally lifted the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) that had been in effect since October 12, 2023," the statement reads.
"The decision was taken following a thorough analysis by the IOC’s Legal Affairs Commission, considering that the ROC no longer includes as its members any regional sports organizations in territories falling under the jurisdiction of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine," the statement continued.
"In addition, the ROC confirmed that it does not, and will not, conduct any activities in these territories," according to the IOC. "The IOC EB will continue to closely monitor the situation relating to any ROC activities in those territories, and reserves the right to take any further measures if deemed necessary."
