There have been countless sporting sanctions against Russia since the start of the invasion of Ukraine.

After football, volleyball or even skating, the international athletics federation has come out of its silence and plans to ban Russian athletes from its competitions “in the foreseeable future and with immediate effect”.

The announcement was made on Tuesday by the international federation World Athletics, which follows the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee.

No Russian will therefore be able to take part in the Indoor World Championships in Belgrade from March 18 to 20, nor in the outdoor world championships in Eugene (Oregon) next July, specifies World Athletics in a press release.
