If they pass the qualifying stage, the team representing Russia cannot participate, but they can apply on a neutral basis, and not as representatives of Russia, and then a decision will be made on how they can participate. But the condition is without the Russian flag, without representatives of Russia, ”said Taylor.

Earlier, WADA decided to remove Russia from participating in major international competitions for fraud with data from the Moscow laboratory.
