Kremlin spokesman Dimitry Peskov today said Moscow is disappointed by the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to maintain sanctions against Russian athletes, citing concerns over an inspection by the World Anti-Doping Agency into Russia’s anti-doping system.
Peskov added that Russia would continue dialogue with the IOC on the return of its athletes to the international sports arena. Meanwhile, the organisation recommended that all restrictions be lifted for Belarusian athletes competing in international events.
