    One of them is to pay $15 million for the development of the international anti-doping system and coordination of the activity in this area between the IOC, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and international sports federations. As of today, the ROC has paid this sum in full.

    Therefore, all the financial requirements set to the ROC for lifting the suspension have been fulfilled as of now.
