The ban preventing athletes from protesting or demonstrating at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games has been upheld by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
In a statement released on Wednesday, the IOC said it had come to the decision to continue with the Rule 50 ban after a 10-month consultation process with over 3,500 athletes, who represent 185 different National Olympic Committees and all 41 Olympic Sports. According to the survey: "A clear majority of athletes said that it is not appropriate to demonstrate or express their views on the field of play (70% of respondents), at official ceremonies (70% of respondents) or on the podium (67% of respondents)."More Related News
