The Russian Olympic Committee is suspended with immediate effect until further notice," the statement said. According to the IOC's decision, the Russian Olympic Committee can no longer function as a National Olympic Committee or receive funding from the Olympic Movement, while the IOC reserves the right to make a decision on the admission of individual Russian athletes to the Olympic Games in a neutral status.
