The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has responded to criticisms from Russia regarding athlete restrictions during a press conference that marked the end of its two-day Executive Board session.

IOC spokesman Mark Adams said the statements from Moscow, including accusations of “racism and Neo-Nazism”, were “very aggressive” and reached “a new low”.

IOC President Thomas Bach deferred to his spokesperson Adams when asked about the quotes from Russia due to the “personal” nature of the accusations.
