Vladimir Putin is being stripped of his honorary sporting titles amid Ukraine invasion

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been stripped of multiple honorary sporting titles amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

It comes as sports governing bodies have imposed sanctions on Russian teams, with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommending a ban for Russian and Belarusian athletes competing in international competition.

In the same statement on Monday, the IOC announced that it had withdrawn the Olympic Order, the highest award of the Olympic movement, from Putin.
