MUMBAI, India (AP) — The Russian Olympic Committee has been suspended by the IOC for breaching the Olympic Charter by incorporating sports bodies in four regions in eastern Ukraine.

Adams says the suspension has not yet affected the possibility of neutral Russian athletes competing at next year’s Paris Olympics.
