Orangehair43 177 Posted March 1, 2022 #21 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Will they compete against Russia through. Andrew Parsons has said he thinks and understands that some countries might withdraw if Russia is not banned but he doesn’t sound confident on being able to legally expel Russia.

The IPC seems to be stuck in a position where jt can’t legally ban Russia so I wonder if they will have to pull the plug if most of other countries withdraw.

Orangehair43 177 Posted March 3, 2022 #29 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Total silence from GB Paralympics since their statement. Sounds like a boycott will be announced tomorrow. If 20+ nations withdraw the IPC would surely have to at least attempt a u turn or face a games with only China, Russia, Belarus and few others competing.
