Athletes from Russia and Belarus had to be approved as neutrals who did not support the war for individual events at the 2024 Paris Olympics and February's Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. A total of 32 athletes from the two countries competed in Paris, to win five medals combined, including one gold in trampoline by an athlete from Belarus.

MONACO -- The Russian doping crisis that rocked track and field in the 2010s reached a symbolic end Friday with bans and disqualifications for 12 athletes in a final set of disciplinary cases going back over a decade. The Athletics Integrity Unit, which was founded in 2017 as part of track's response to the doping crisis, said this was the "last batch" of proceedings using data from the shuttered Moscow anti-doping laboratory where cases were covered up.
