International Paralympic Committee to reinstate Russia
- From the section Disability Sport
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) will end its ban on Russian Para-athletes - but under strict conditions.
The 29-month suspension for the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC), enforced in 2016 following the McLaren report, will be lifted by March 15.
The report found Russia operated a state-sponsored doping programme for four years in the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports.
IPC president Andrew Parsons said 69 of 70 reinstatement criteria had been met.
