On December 9, the WADA executive committee suspended Russia from international competitions for four years, and also forbade it from holding international tournaments. In addition, it was recommended that Russian athletes participate in competitions only in neutral status.

Earlier, Russian biathlete Yekaterina Yurlova-Perkht declined to comment on a possible OI pass.
