Russian and Belarusian athletes banned from ISU and some other IOC events?
« on: March 01, 2022, 08:34:29 PM »
There are a many sources saying these athletes are now banned by the ISU, including the World Championships.

But I don't see it on the IOC's own site.

It was right on the ISU website front page.  Not sure how you could have missed it, to be honest.
