The Italian government pushed through a last-minute decree Tuesday providing more autonomy for the country’s Olympic committee in an effort to prevent the team from being suspended for the Tokyo Games.
The council of ministers approved the decree just before Prime Minister Guiseppe Conte tendered his government s resignation to President Sergio Mattarella amid on ongoing political crisis.
It comes just a day before the International Olympic Committee was due to decide whether to impose a humiliating probation on Italy’s team for the Tokyo Games this week because of a two-year domestic dispute that it says amounts to government interference.

The cabinet on Tuesday approved a decree that guarantees the autonomy of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI).
The IOC, as early as August 2019, had been warning Italy that a sport reform law passed by the Italian Parliament in late 2018 was in violation of the Olympic Charter, as it constitutes government interference affecting the Italian NOC’s autonomy presiding over Italian sport.
The legislation established a government-controlled organization entitled “Sport e Salute”, or Sport and Health, to manage distribution of funding to Italy’s NGB’s. The law also reduced CONI’s role to only handling preparations for the Olympic Games.
