No, they're just not allowed to play under the Russian flag. Just like in tennis tournaments.

Under the IOC's rules, Russian athletes are prohibited in any form from showing any representation of the country, including its flag or national anthem. "All public displays of the organization's participant name should use the acronym 'ROC,' not the full name 'Russian Olympic Committee,'" the IOC rules state.
