The Olympic Council of Asia invited Russia and Belarus to participate in the Asian Games. The International Olympic Committee welcomed this decision. The next Asian Summer Games will be held in Hangzhou, China this year from September 23 to October 8. A little earlier, the International Olympic Committee created a roadmap for the return of Belarusians and Russians to big tournaments. It is known that they will be allowed to compete in a neutral status. Moreover, only the athletes who do not violate the Olympic Charter and have successfully passed individual interviews will be admitted. The procedure will be carried out by international sports federations.
