PUBLIC STATEMENT The Panam Sports Executive Committee expresses its full support for the athletes of Ukraine, who have been impacted by the tragic invasion of their country. We also believe in the principles of Olympism that place sport at the service of promoting a peaceful and harmonious society and recognize the fundamental principles of the Olympic Charter that support inclusion, non-discrimination, and the political neutrality of sport. Considering these principles, the Executive Committee supports a process to consider strict criteria for neutral athlete participation in international sport. These criteria should include demonstrating the absence of political ties to government or armed forces, support for peace and the Olympic Values, full compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code and the Olympic Charter. Furthermore, the needs of potential neutral athletes must not be placed before those of Ukrainian athletes or have undue impact on athletes in other regions around the world. Panam Sports will await the further details on the definition and parameters for the possible inclusion of neutral athletes holding Russian or Belarusian passports. Sincerely, Panam Sports ABOUT PANAM SPORTS The Pan American Sports Organization (Panam Sports) is the leader of sport and the Olympic Movement in the Americas. We propel the development of sport and support our 41 member National Olympic Committees to inspire more participation in international competitions as well as participation of the youth to prepare the generation to come in our region. Panam Sports works closely with athletes, National Olympic Committees (NOC), Organizing Committees of all regional games, Pan American Sport Confederations, International Federations (IF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to secure the success and celebration of our main event, the Pan American Games.
