President of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) Mikhail Mamiashvili told that the exclusion of leading Russian wrestlers from participating in the Olympic Games indicates that the leadership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC ) is ready to fulfill a political order.
Earlier, the FSBR reported that Russian wrestlers who received an invitation from the IOC refused to participate in the Paris Olympics. The federation said it “does not accept the principle of non-sporting selection that guided the IOC in drawing up the list of eligible athletes, the purpose of which is to undermine the principle of team unity.” The list of wrestlers to whom the IOC granted neutral status did not include many of the strongest athletes, including Olympic champions Abdulrashid Sadulaev, Zaurbek Sidakov and Musa Evloev.
“We have come this far to show the world community that the root of all evil is the leadership of the IOC. No matter how they are selected, no matter what thorns they go through, the IOC will always respect the political order. They will not let us in, and if they let us in, it will be in the way they need – fifth, tenth, youth, junior, so that there is no thought of the possibility of domination.
This is the best team in the world! Imagine what they are planning? Rhythmic gymnastics without Wiener, synchronized swimming without Pokrovskaya. Wrestling without Sadulaev, one could list names and give examples at length. These names are fundamentally historically inscribed in the world history of sports. Who now has a direct road in the absence of our leaders? Homosexuals, transvestites and other evil spirits, ”Mamiashvili told .
In February 2022, the IOC recommended that sports federations not allow Russians and Belarusians to participate in international tournaments. Later, the recommendations were softened, and in December 2023, IOC chief Thomas Bach said that the organization would allow Russian and Belarusian athletes who had passed the selection process to the 2024 Summer Games in an individual neutral status. Compliance with the selection criteria is confirmed by a special IOC commission.
The games in Paris will take place from July 26 to August 11.
