一 |     GENEVA -- After nearly 20 months of waging war in Ukraine, Russia was suspended by the IOC on Thursday for a land grab in sports administration.The International Olympic Committee's executive board imposed the suspension on the Russian Olympic Committee for a breach of the Olympic Charter — a book of rules and principles for international sports bodies — by incorporating sports councils in four regions in eastern Ukraine.Russian Olympic officials provoked the dispute last week by accepting the councils in Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia as its members.“(This) unilateral decision,” the International Olympic Committee said in a statement from Mumbai, India, “constitutes a breach of the Olympic Charter because it violates the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine, as recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in accordance with the Olympic Charter.”The suspension does not immediately affect any Russians who are returning to compete in international sporting events as neutral athletes. However, it did suggest rising frustration from the IOC and its president, Thomas Bach, who can ultimately decide to impose a blanket ban on all Russian athletes from next year's Paris Olympics."(The IOC) reserves the right to decide about the participation of individual neutral athletes with a Russian passport in the Olympic Games Paris 2024 and the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 at the appropriate time,” the IOC said.The Russian Olympic Committee criticized the IOC for “another counterproductive decision with obvious political motivations.”However, the IOC under Bach has often been seen as too sympathetic to Russia during a decade-long doping scandal by never excluding all the country's athletes and teams from any Olympics despite proven allegations of state-backed cheating and tampering with evidence.The latest decision by the IOC board comes seven months after it publicly supported Russian athletes by advising governing bodies of Olympic sports to find ways of including them in qualifying events for the Paris Games.That IOC policy to ease a blanket ban was in defiance of calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and many Ukrainian athletes to maintain the exclusion of athletes from Russia and Belarus.Those vetting processes by different sports will continue despite the IOC suspension imposed Thursday, which does not affect Belarus.“The suspension of the national Olympic committee doesn’t affect in any way the participation of independent athletes,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams said at a news conference after the board meeting.Adams said the Russian Olympic Committee had been informed of its suspension before the IOC announced it publicly.Russia remains excluded from international events in team sports, despite a short-lived and failed attempt this month by European soccer body UEFA to put Russian under-17 teams into qualifying groups for their European Championship.The new ban removes the right of the ROC to get funding from the Switzerland-based IOC, which is worth millions of dollars in each four-year Olympic funding cycle. Russian officials reportedly have been weighing legal action to access the money that was not being paid during the war.The Russian Olympic Committee can challenge the IOC decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.“ROC, as a participant in the international sports movement, reserves the right to protect its own interests, as well as the interests of athletes and organizations of a sovereign country, which we represent in good faith,” the Russian Olympic body said.___AP coverage of the Paris Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games。    ■ 记者 张蜜          　　7月4日9时许，市民杨某来到市公安局交通分局报警求助：“警察同志，我昨天乘坐公交车时，将随身携带的手提袋落在了公交车上，手提袋里有100余元现金、身份证、银行卡、退休证件以及一件具有收藏价值的玉器。”          　　据杨某回忆，7月3日10时许，她与同伴一起在建委站点乘坐14路公交车回家，上车后由于车内人员较多，杨某与同伴分别坐在了不同的位置，随后杨某便将手提袋放在了脚边。为了方便交谈，杨某在乘车途中更换了座位，之后，杨某在连山区政府下了车，直到当天晚上她才想起手提袋遗落在了后排座位下。         　　了解事情原委后，民警一边耐心安抚杨某，让她稍作等待，一边迅速展开调查，着手调取监控。

二 | 由于杨某记不清所乘公交车的车牌号，民警便对3日10时许建委站点附近的监控逐一进行排查。历经4个小时的不懈努力，民警成功找到了杨某所乘坐的公交车，并随即联系公交公司调取车内监控。         　　通过查看车内监控，民警发现杨某在换座时，将手提袋遗落在了后排座位底下，随后被一名乘客发现并带走。14时许，民警通过查询公交卡刷卡等相关信息，成功找到了该名乘客。民警当即拨通电话表明身份，然而对方却挂断了电话。

三 | 民警再次致电，严肃告知对方，如果确实捡到了手提袋，要立即归还。该乘客表示会将手提袋送回。14时40分许，乘客将手提袋送到了交通分局，民警很快便将手提袋交还给了杨某。         　　杨某仔细检查了手提袋内的物品，发现一样不少。

四 | 面对失而复得的手提袋，杨某对民警连声道谢，对他们的工作态度和效率给予了充分肯定。
