The IOC executive board wants winter sports governing bodies to "freeze their preparations for major events in Russia" and find host cities in other countries.

A figure skating Grand Prix in Moscow on Nov. 4-6 and a ski jumping World Cup on Dec. 9-11 in Nizhny Tagil are the first events set to be moved from Russia.

The IOC says this is because of "detailed references to the manipulation of samples" at the Sochi Olympics in a World Anti-Doping Agency inquiry report published on Monday that alleged a state-backed doping plot.
