IPC decision to bar Russians from 2022 Paralympics unfounded - RPC

MOSCOW. March 3 (Interfax) - The Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) reserves the right to appeal the decision made by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) on non-admission of Russian athletes to the Beijing Paralympics in the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and considers the decision unfounded, the RPC press service said.

"The Russian Paralympic Committee believes the decision of the International Paralympic Committee of March 3, 2022 is totally unfounded as it obviously contradicts one of the main principles of the Paralympic family, the apolitical nature of sport for people with disabilities," the report said.
