The French government are cowards. They could announce no Russian or Belarusian will be given a visa to compete and the IOC will have no right to interfere 

I would be shocked if the neutral athlete pathway wasn't something that was designed with input from the French government.

prepare to be shocked...it's surely decided by the superMan in charge, the one and only 1976 Fencing Olympic Champion himself

 

he's only to take from Governments of the Olympic hosts, not to give

Think they were only eligible to compete in the single/double sculls and the pair right?

Boxing

 

"“Russian boxers will never go to competitions in a neutral status. We cannot change our Motherland! We do not condemn anyone, but we have a clearly formed position. This is the opinion of the entire boxing family,” TASS quotes the words of Tatiana Kiriyenko, Secretary General of the Russian Boxing Federation.!

Sailing

 

"In sailing the situation is almost similar. True, according to SE information , only Russian champions in the Nacra 17 class Elizaveta Zherebtsova / Mikhail Ushkov, who now live outside our country, are going to the Olympic selection. But, let's say, on my own initiative. The first numbers all refused to go"

Archery

 

"A few days earlier, Russian archers, who, we recall, won two silver medals at the Tokyo Games in 2021, abandoned the Olympics in Paris. “Firstly, our leading athletes represent Dynamo or CSKA. We interviewed the entire team. The team said that without a flag and anthem, in a gray uniform, they have no desire to participate in the selection and in the Olympic Games. "

Finally

 

"Even earlier, the leadership of Russian artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, swimming, diving and weightlifting declared their reluctance to perform at international competitions and specifically at the Games in Paris in a discriminatory status. So it is already obvious that in Paris, if we see neutral Russians, it will be at a minimum."

At Rio and Tokyo Russians being absent would have given  a few more medals but this time arrond it’s only Men’s gymnastics team where they absence helps .
