Fetisov: “In children’s hockey there is discrimination against parents who have fewer financial opportunities”
“Recently, I invited people close to me to discuss this issue in my program on one of the TV channels. They came … And literally within 10 minutes they divided into three camps.
They did not find a consensus: it is necessary – it is not necessary, with a flag – without a flag… I had an unequivocal opinion: the athletes have nothing to do with it, and we must ride in a status that will be allowed. But today the situation in the world has changed, and now I have no direct answer to this question.
At the same time, the Olympic Charter says nothing about suspending athletes due to country-led disputes. And we are imposed additional conditions, forced to discuss them. I think it’s advantageous for someone to separate the Russians – which, in fact, happened in my studio,” Fetisov quotes KP Sport.
