Description
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it is opening a commission to investigate Belarusian Olympic officials involved in the case of Olympian Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, who had just left Tokyo and headed for Poland.
Tsimanouskaya sought protection from Tokyo 2020 officials on Sunday, claiming she was being forced to return to Belarus, which has been wracked by political upheaval and a crackdown on dissent after disputed elections that returned strongman Alexander Lukashenko to power last year.
