Today, March 2nd 2022, the IPC (International Paralympic Committee) made a decision allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in the Winter Paralympics.  They will compete under as neutrals at the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games under the Paralympic flag and not be included in the medal table.

Most, perhaps all, other Sport Federations, have suspended Russian and Belarusian involvement in respective Sports.  This means the IPC decision is 'out of canter' with the rest of the Sporting World.

Is the IPC decision right or wrong?

    Can I ask a question  - How do you vote in a poll without having the result shown. Sorry if I have spoilt this.  

    Hi @Teddybear12

    Not spoiled it at all, it's a good question, I just thought I'd clarify:

    The setting regarding the visibility of each vote is set by the user who created the thread, it can be toggled on and off, and can't be set by each individual voter.
