International Olympic Committee Russians reprieved by Cas await Winter Olympics fate as IOC considers appeal • Decision on Tuesday on athletes’ eligibility for Pyeongchang• Cas says there is ‘insufficient evidence’ to uphold suspensionsRussian athletes who have had Olympic bans overturned will find out on Tuesday if they can compete in Pyeongchang. “Receiving this invitation is a privilege for a clean Russian athlete,” Bach said. “[But] you can only look into an appeal seriously when you have the reasoned decision, which we do not have. So far 169 Russian athletes have been invited to compete in Pyeongchang, competing under the Olympic flag. Those athletes hoping to be promoted to the podium following the findings against Russian athletes have a further wait for their medals.
