Russian Olympic Committee: While suspending the Russian Olympic Committee for breach of the Olympic charter for annexing regions of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has not taken any action against its two Russian members because they have no relations with the country's military, President Thomas Bach has clarified.
Bach said the IOC was sure that the former Olympic champion pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and Shamil Tarpischev -- Russia's two International Olympic Committee members -- did not support the invasion of Ukraine.
"They are not Russia's representative in IOC but IOC's representatives in Russia," Bach said on Friday, a day after the IOC suspended the Russian Olympic Committee after it listed sports bodies from regions annexed from Ukraine as its members.
