Athletics
On Tuesday, the World Athletics Council announced new sanctions banning all athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing in World Athletics Series events "with immediate effect."

"The unprecedented sanctions that countries and industries around the world are imposing on Russia and Belarus appear to be the only peaceful way to disrupt and disable Russia's current intentions and restore peace."
The next events to be affected are the World Championships in Athletics in Oregon, scheduled to start on July 15, and the World Indoor Championships in Athletics, scheduled to start on March 18.
"Anyone who knows me will understand that imposing sanctions on athletes for their government's actions goes against the grain," Coe added.
"I have criticized the practice of politicians targeting athletes and sports to make political points when other sectors go about their business," he said.
"This is different as governments, companies and other international organizations have imposed sanctions and measures against Russia in all sectors. Sport has to step up and join these efforts to end this war and restore peace. We cannot nor should we stay out of this," he added.
