- The International Olympic Committee could suspend Poland’s membership if the country fails to resolve the issue surrounding the Polish Olympic Committee.
- A suspension would bar Polish athletes from events held under the IOC, including the Youth Olympic Games in Senegal this autumn and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
The worst-case scenario for Poland is no longer limited to the arrest of the president of its Olympic committee. If the country cannot resolve the dispute, the International Olympic Committee could intervene and suspend Poland’s membership.
That would prevent Polish athletes from taking part in any event held under the IOC. The potential ban would extend beyond the 2028 Summer Olympics.
The Youth Olympic Games in Senegal, scheduled for this autumn, could also be affected. The prospect of exclusion from major international competitions has placed the Polish side under serious pressure to settle the matter.
