The International Olympic Committee rejected a request on February 5 to invite 15 Russians to the Pyeongchang Winter Games just days after the athletes’ doping bans were overturned by the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The 13 active athletes and two retired athletes working in support roles were among a group of 28 athletes whose bans were overturned by CAS on February 1. The ban on 11 other Russians was upheld.
