MUMBAI : Former Olympic champions Yelena Isinbayeva and Shamil Tarpischev - Russia's two International Olympic Committee members - have no contractual links to the country's military and have not supported the invasion of Ukraine, IOC President Thomas Bach said on Friday.

Bach was speaking a day after the IOC's executive board suspended the Russian Olympic Committee for recognising regional organisations from four territories annexed from Ukraine.

"In order to ensure the equal treatment between officials and athletes we have nevertheless submitted these IOC members in Russia to an assessment by the IOC ethics commission," Bach added. On Thursday the IOC suspended the ROC and stopped any funding after it recognised earlier this month Olympic Councils from the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

"We will keep monitoring the developments. There is no time pressure," said Bach when asked about a decision for next year's Games in France.
