“IBA is a bone in the IOC’s throat. They are harming athletes, since we are the only ones who have prize money at the championships and only our organization allows athletes from Russia and Belarus to carry the flag and anthem. We are an independent and transparent organization that does not discriminate. And the IOC behaves like fascists, committing genocide of athletes on the basis of their nationality and making politicized decisions. The IOC is afraid of its own shadow!” — Kremlev said, according to the IBA press service.
Let us remind that boxers from Russia and Belarus, according to the decision of the IBA, participate in international competitions with national symbols.
