According to the president of the World Athletics working group, Rune Andersen, who is transmitting to Inside the Games, only those athletes who have not violated anti-doping rules in the past will be able to obtain permits.

ARAF membership in World Athletics has been suspended since the end of 2015.

Currently, due to the sanctions imposed on the ARAF, Russian athletes cannot compete in international competitions under their own flag.

Since November 2019, the issuance of temporary permits for participation in competitions under a neutral flag has been suspended due to the case of the high jumper Danil Lysenko.

Earlier it was reported that the case of the athlete Lysenko was transferred to the CAS.
