IOC refuses to recognise Viktor Lukashenko election as Belarus NOC President

Monday, 8 March 2021
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has refused to recognise the election of Viktor Lukashenko as President of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the Republic of Belarus and Dmitry Baskov as a Board member.
Viktor Lukashenko replaced his father Alexander, the Belarus President, as head of the body during the NOC's General Assembly last month.
Both men were banned from attending the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games by the IOC in December after allegations of political discrimination towards athletes following protests against Lukashenko’s controversial re-election as Belarus President last August.
Belarusian Ice Hockey Association President and NOCRB Board member Baskov was also sanctioned by the IOC.
