olympi234LAUSANNE: International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Tuesday definitively lifted the suspension of the Kuwait Olympic Committee after receiving assurances concerning the body's autonomy, spokesman Mark Adams said.

 

The IOC executive commission rubber stamped the decision during a meeting here after having already lifted the two-year ban last July just in time to allow the country's athletes parade under their national flag at the London Olympics.

 

Kuwait's Olympic committee were suspended by the IOC in January, 2010, over government interference.
