IOC suspends Russian Olympic Committee over territorial integrity breach, impact on athletes unclear

The IOC suspended the Russian Olympic Committee for incorporating sports bodies in occupied Ukrainian territories.
The suspension removes IOC funding for the ROC but does not immediately affect Russian athletes competing as neutrals.
The ROC's actions were deemed a violation of the Olympic Charter and Ukraine's territorial integrity.
The IOC has not yet decided on wider bans for Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The ROC criticized the suspension as politically motivated but can challenge it at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
