Not all countries are ready to fulfill their commitments in sports and continue to impose illegal restrictions on Russian athletes, President Vladimir Putin said. The President noted that the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) should continue its work in protecting the rights of Russian athletes. Putin also noted that the refusal to allow Russian athletes to compete internationally despite the recent ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is a flagrant violation of the law and "democratic institutions."
