> The IOC says its recommended conditions restricting Russian athletes and teams are no longer applicable, but each international federation must set eligibility under its own rules. World Athletics upheld the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from its sponsored competitions in July, prompting an appeal by Russia’s athletics federation to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
