The International Olympic Committee intends to decide on Russia’s participation in the Pyeongchang Games in December.
The IOC has been waiting on the findings of two commissions whose work started 15 months ago as anti-doping and sport leaders have called for a decision to be rendered before the Olympics begin in February, and, in several cases, called for a ban of Russia entirely.
In a statement following its Olympic Summit on Saturday, the IOC said work on both commissions should be done in time for the executive board to issue a decision at its December meeting in Lausanne.
