The World Anti-Doping Agency will be forced to watch as Russian athletes don uniforms in their country's colours of red, white and blue and compete at the Tokyo Olympics, having received softened sanctions over the nation's doping scandals.

With the logo of the Russian Olympic Committee and the letters 'ROC' on them, the uniforms are almost indistinguishable from Russian team uniforms of past Games. Russian athletes had competed under the Olympic flag and with neutral uniforms at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Games when they were also suspended from taking part as Russia.
