“We need to take legal action. His rights were violated and the IOC did not bother to ensure the safety of the health of the athletes participating in the Olympic Games, even though everyone knew in advance that these athletes had been disqualified before and that it was. We knew that they were not playing honestly. We need to take legal action against the IOC and especially against Thomas Bach, to hold them accountable for why this happened,” Tishchenko is quoted by Sport-Express.
