OTTAWA — The Canadian Paralympic Committee disagreed with the International Paralympic Committee's decision to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutrals in next summer's Paralympic Games in Paris.
While the IPC voted Friday to partially suspend the membership of Russia and Belarus for two years, athletes from the two countries are eligible to compete as individuals and neutrals in upcoming Paralympic, world and regional championships.
"We continue to believe this is the right course of action to protect and defend the Paralympic values. As such, we are disappointed in the results of today’s vote and that there is not a total ban on membership and participation for NPC Russia and NPC Belarus and their athletes. The IPC completely banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio because of host Russia's doping scandal stemming from the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
IPC members voted 74-65 against a full ban on Russia, and 75-56 against a full ban on Belarus on Friday.
