The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has eased some restrictions on Russian athletes, allowing them to compete in team events and qualifiers for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, while maintaining bans on the Russian flag and anthem. This decision, made over four years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, requires returning athletes to undergo multiple doping tests to address past scandals.
