The Olympic Committee of Russia was removed from participation in the preparation of games. The membership of the President of the OKR Alexander Zhukov in the IOC is suspended. All functionaries of the Ministry of Sports of Russia were denied accreditation for the upcoming Olympics, and for Zhukov, as well as the former head of the Ministry of Sports, the current deputy prime minister Vitaly Mutko and the former deputy head of the Ministry of Sports of Yuri Nagorny, a lifetime ban on accreditation was introduced.
