Olympic Rules for COVID-Hit Nations
The Indian Olympic body IOA, has raised a few questions against the strict rules set by the Japanese government for athletes coming from COVID-hit nations for the upcoming Tokyo Olympic games.
The new rules include daily testing of athletes for a week before they leave for Tokyo. Furthermore, the athletes will also have to abstain from coming into contact with other teams for three days after they arrive in Japan.
