In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, more and more sports have followed the IOC's call to ban Russian athletes from competing. I will try to compile all of those links here for your information.
Feb 28, 2022 - The Executive Board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommends no participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has already responded by announcing that the flags of Russia and Belarus will not be displayed and the anthems of these countries will not be played at international events held by FIDE.
The Executive Committee of the World Karate Federation (WKF) unanimously decided to move the tournament to another site and strip Moscow of its hosting rights.
The International Skating Union (ISU) said no athletes from Russia or Belarus "shall be invited or allowed to participate" in events until further notice.
The International Badminton Federation (BWF) has cancelled tournaments planned for Russia and Belarus. It has also determined that neither the flags will be displayed nor the anthems be played of the countries at any of its events.
International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has also announced that Russian teams and officials will not be allowed to participate in FIBA Basketball and 3x3 Basketball competitions.
FIFA announced that it was suspending Russian representative teams (men's and women's). UEFA also announced that club sides would be removed from all competitions. This means Russia won't be participating in the World Cup in Qatar. Spartak Moscow have also been removed from the Europa League.
FIFA and UEFA joint statement
UEFA also confirmed that it was ending its deal with sponsor Gazprom, worth €40 million a year.
U.S. Soccer issued a statement to join other soccer federations in refusing to play Russia.
The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Council has suspended all Russian and Belarusian national and club teams from IIHF competitions until further notice and withdrew the hosting rights of the 2023 #WorldJuniors from Russia.
Bob Nicholson, IIHF Vice President, said, "There are a lot of sports, but hockey probably hits Putin the hardest."
Russian and Belarusian tennis players can play on the ATP and WTA tours, but without displaying their national flags, and at the Grand Slams. However, they are barred from participating in team competitions, such as Davis Cup and BJK Cup, until further notice.
Joint Statement by the International Governing Bodies of Tennis
The International Ski Federation (FIS) cancels all remaining 2021-22 season events in Russia and bans Russian athletes from all competitions.
The World Athletics Council has agreed to impose sanctions against the Member Federations of Russia and Belarus as a consequence of the invasion of Ukraine.
In an address to the Council, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said: "Anyone who knows me will understand that imposing sanctions on athletes because of the actions of their government goes against the grain. I have railed against the practice of politicians targeting athletes and sport to make political points when other sectors continue about their business. This is different as governments, business and other international organisations have imposed sanctions and measures against Russia across all sectors. Sport has to step up and join these efforts to end this war and restore peace. We cannot and should not sit this one out."
