Russia advance legal cases, but no appeal for para-athletes
Russian para-athletes are leaving the Winter Paralympics in Beijing after the Russian Paralympic Committee ('RPC') were "unable" to assert any appeal rights following the International Paralympic Committee ('IPC') decision to ban them, along with participants from Belarus, from competing. It comes as the Russian Olympic Committee ('ROC') formalises its complaint against the mass suspension of their athletes across world sport they are calling discriminatory, with those suspensions continuing over the weekend.
