The conditions for Russian athletes’ return to competition varied after the International Olympic Committee lifted the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee’s membership in July 2026 and left each sports federation to set its own participation rules. Russians competed under their national flag in some sports, while taking part as neutrals in others. In hockey, the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the International Ice Hockey Federation’s decisions and approved the return of Russian national teams for the 2026–27 season. However, several countries refused to play against them, while the federation decided to exclude Belarus’s men’s under-20 and senior men’s teams from the 2027 World Championships. The controversy was compounded by doping concerns: the International Testing Agency reported that 12 of 16 Russian weightlifters had not undergone independent out-of-competition testing before the most recent World Championships in China.
