The world equestrian sports association FEI wants to allow starters from Russia and Belarus again.
The board had decided to lift the protective measures, the FEI announced after a meeting in Mexico City and referred to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Russian and Belarusian athletes, horses and officials should be allowed to start as neutrals, so that the ban imposed at the beginning of the Russian attack on Ukraine no longer applies.
The conditions and schedule for implementation are to be clarified in December. The ban on international competitions in Russia and Belarus remains, as the FEI explained. Both countries play no role in top international sport.
