Demand the exclusion of the Russian team from the 2022 Winter Paralympics and, if this is not achieved, withdraw the UK team.

More details

It is unreasonable to expect individual athletes to make this decision, it needs to be included in our national effort to isolate and sanction the Putin regime.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the organisation of the Olympics are a matter for the International Olympic Committee, and decisions about the UK's participation in the Olympics are a matter for the National Olympic Committee for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
