Canada’s not buying the IOC’s new softening stance on Russian athletes. While the International Olympic Committee hints at easing suspension rules for 2028, allowing Russian competitors under strict conditions — including potential flag and anthem bans — Canada’s Minister of Sport Adam van Koeverden is firmly against it.

The IOC still bars Russian officials, but this shift signals a growing global debate over accountability versus fairness in sports.
