International Canoe Federation will allow Belarusians to compete

The International Canoe Federation (ICF) has decided to allow Belarusian rowers to participate in international competitions, but only in a neutral status, BELTA reported.

The decision to return athletes from Belarus, as well as Russia, was made after consultations with the international community. An independent commission will be set up to consider all applications from Belarusian athletes wishing to participate in tournaments as neutral athletes.

Other sports federations have also allowed Belarusian athletes to participate in international competitions.
