Member of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports Roman Tereshkov told that he had a negative attitude towards the transition of Russian Basketball Federation (RBF) General Secretary Natalya Galkina to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
On Monday, CSR announced that Galkina will continue to work at FIBA’s headquarters in Switzerland.
— To be honest, I am negative on this fact. Why? Because every voice of a Russian should be in favor of Russia, not of a transnational corporation that suppressed the players and the national team, deprived the country of the right to host the World Cup. All your strengths and abilities must be used to build a new sporting reality in Russia.
– What if Galkina from the FIBA office tries to convince the federation to change its attitude towards Russia?
– Time will tell us. If so, then it’s probably a good idea. We say that athletes should not change sports citizenship into citizenship of hostile states. This, I think, should also apply to the heads of sports federations, deputies, officials, – Teryushkov told “”.
