Athletistic / Boxing. President of the International Boxing Association Umar Kremlev shared his opinion on the possible participation of Russian athletes in competitions in neutral status. In his opinion, performing without a flag or anthem is unacceptable.

“Playing without a flag or anthem is like abandoning your mother. Who do they represent there without symbols? You don’t need to think, you need to have a clear decision. You need to have a clear position, then they will treat us differently. Once authorized, that’s it!

“Ordinary fascism.” Irina Viner – on the neutral status of Russians at the Olympics

For some reason, someone thinks athletes should suck. The Olympic movement is making a lot of money, but where is it? It turns out a group has enslaved the athletes, they watch the show, smoke cigars, then take the money for themselves.

And countries must provide them, prepare them for competitions, etc. It’s worse than fascism, I can’t call it anything else. When will all this stop? You just need to talk about it, talk about it head-on, and not sit on the fence and look into the wind,” Kremlev quotes Match TV.
