Russian athletes should only be allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics if they can prove they are clean, something the chair of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee board said will be “incredibly difficult” to do.
“It’s very difficult for us to see how justice can be served and how there will be a true deterrent against future corruption if any of the athletes from Russia have a right to compete in Tokyo under any flag, neutral or otherwise,” Susanne Lyons said on a conference call Friday night after a USOPC board meeting.
