“Given your unique situation, the International Olympic Committee will allocate an additional quota place to you for the Olympic Games Paris 2024, in case you will not be able to qualify in the remaining period,” Bach wrote. “We make this unique exception also because the ongoing procedures will in no case make up for the qualification points you missed because of your disqualification.”
