The British government has written to the Olympics' biggest sponsors, urging them to take a stand against the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to allow Russian athletes to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games. The IOC recently reinstated the Russian Olympic Committee, allowing athletes from the country to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo. This decision has been met with backlash from the British government and other international organizations, who argue that Russia should not be allowed to participate due to its past doping scandals. In a letter to the Olympics' biggest sponsors, the British government has called on them to pressure the IOC to reconsider its decision. The letter states that the IOC's stance is "not consistent with the values of the Olympic movement" and that the sponsors should use their influence to ensure that the Olympic Games are fair and free of doping. The sponsors have yet to respond to the government's letter, but it is expected that they will take a stance on the issue. If they do, it could put pressure on the IOC to reconsider its decision and potentially lead to a change in the rules surrounding doping in the Olympics.
