2020 Tokyo Olympic & Paralympic Games
Overview
The International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee have published various rules, policies, and guidelines that are applicable to the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, and to all participants at the Games. These include guidelines about conduct, advertising restrictions, manufacturer identifications and placement limitations, social media usage, anti-doping and the prohibitions of the manipulation of competitions. It is imperative that athletes are astutely familiar with the restrictions that could potentially jeopardize their eligibility and right to compete in the Games.
Some sections apply to both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, while other sections are only applicable to one or the other (e.g. classification only applies to Paralympic sport). The summary information should not be used as all-inclusive coverage of any rule or policy. Please refer to the full document or contact the Office of the Athlete Ombuds if you have questions.
