Stanislav Pozdnyakov, the committee’s vice president, told reporters that the leaders of the Russian national team had been left out of an invitation list put together by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The IOC banned Russia last month from Pyeongchang over “systematic manipulation” of the anti-doping system at the 2014 Sochi Games, but left the door open to athletes with no history of doping to compete as “Olympic Athletes from Russia”.
