Australia's cycling federation, AusCycling, has announced that Russian and Belarusian athletes would be prevented from riding World Championships "at this stage." This decision comes after the International Olympic Committee's call to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes following the Ukraine invasion. AusCycling has expressed its support for the IOC's decision and has stated that it will continue to monitor the situation closely.

The situation in Belarus has been a topic of concern for many countries around the world. The country has been facing political turmoil since the disputed presidential election in 2020. The government's crackdown on opposition leaders and protesters has been widely condemned by the international community. The recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia has further escalated tensions in the region.

As the situation in Belarus continues to unfold, it is important for the international community to remain vigilant and take action against any violations of human rights and international law. The decision by AusCycling to prevent Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in World Championships is a step in the right direction towards holding these countries accountable for their actions.
