The 14th Olympic Summit, hosted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Lausanne, Switzerland, on December 11, 2025, focused on the "Fit for the Future" consultation process and reaffirmed athletes' fundamental right to access sport without political interference. The summit endorsed principles that the Olympic Charter provides strong tools for political neutrality, emphasizing that athletes should be free from governmental pressure. A key decision was the recommendation to lift restrictions on Russian and Belarusian youth athletes participating in international competitions, with International Federations (IFs) and event organizers to determine specifics. Standard protocols for flags and anthems will apply if national sports organizations are in good standing. These recommendations are intended for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games and other youth events. However, existing sanctions against Russian and Belarusian governments, including restrictions on government officials' accreditation, will remain. IFs will continue to refrain from organizing events in Russia but not Belarus. The summit stressed that youth athletes should not be held accountable for their governments' actions.

The International Testing Agency (ITA) initiated its pre-Games anti-doping program for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, with testing recommendations sent to global anti-doping organizations. The program aims for strategic, risk-based testing, complementing efforts by IFs, NADOs and RADOs and will conclude with the Olympic Villages opening on January 30, 2026. The ITA's previous efforts saw 80% implementation of testing recommendations ahead of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. WADA and Benjamin Cohen also provided comments.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reallocated medals and diplomas from London 2012 and Paris 2024 due to athlete disqualifications for doping. Abeba Aregawi (Ethiopia) will receive the silver medal in the 2012 women's 1500m, with Shannon Rowbury (USA) moving to bronze after Tatyana Tomashova's disqualification. This follows the disqualifications of Asli Cakir Alptekin and Gamze Bulut. Additionally, Domien Michiels' (Belgium) results from Paris 2024 were disqualified by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) after testing positive for dorzolamide, resulting in Belgium's team dressage fifth-place finish being reallocated to France.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Testing Agency (ITA), has launched the ADEL e-learning course for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. The course, available in English, French, and Spanish, covers in- and out-of-competition testing, doping control, therapeutic use exemptions, and athletes' rights and responsibilities. The IOC is encouraging National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to ensure athletes complete the course. Feedback from the Paris 2024 ADEL course was used to improve accessibility and navigation.

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha expressed optimism that Kirsty Coventry's election as IOC President will strengthen the fight against doping and improve India's chances of hosting the 2036 Olympics. Usha highlighted Coventry's background with the ITA and WADA, and her role as the first woman and African to lead the IOC. Usha also mentioned that Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar are planned to host 80% of sports events for the 2036 Olympics and noted India's increased female participation in the Paris Olympics and the potential to attract IOC Solidarity Funds.
