Russian Olympic Committee President Stanislav Pozdnyakov has claimed
that "opinion is getting louder" on a potential return to
international competitions for the country's athletes at the
Association of National Olympic Committees General Assembly here.
Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu has stressed that sporting
sanctions against Russia and Belarus must remain in place, insisting
that it is "inconceivable" that athletes from the two nations can
return to the international arena.
