Unless it comes with measures preventing Russia's Olympic committee from being involved with the athletes? Russian TV will probably just show them as Russian.

Yes, thats part of the ban, no Russian NOC accredited officials permitted. I think the ban goes about as far as they can go without exposing the IOC to lawsuits. I have to add, are there any clean Russian athletes? The one whistle blower couple had to go into witness protection in the US.
