Russian, Belarusian Athletes Barred from Beijing Paralympics
Russian and Belarusian athletes were barred from the Winter Paralympics in Beijing on the eve of the Games following threats of boycotts by other teams over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) said. Belarus was a key staging area for the invasion, which was launched a week ago.
The decision came a day after the IPC gave athletes from the two countries the green light to participate as neutrals, saying that the governing body had followed its rules and that 'athletes were not the aggressors'. But that decision led to an outcry and threats from other countries' National Paralympic Committees (NPC) to boycott the Games.
