RUSSIA was banned today from the upcoming Pyeongchang Paralympics because of its doping past.
However, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) said about 30-35 Russians will be allowed to compete in five sports as neutral athletes at the games, which run from March 8-18.
That mirrors the situation for next month's Olympics. The Russian team has been barred, but 169 Russians have been invited to compete.
