ROC Honorary President Leonid Tyagachev, in a conversation with , said he considers it a lie that the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) supports the idea of including Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. if they do not compete under the flags of their country or under their colours.
Earlier, the head of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), Suzanne Lyons, said that the United States Olympic Committee supports the participation of Russians and Belarusians in the 2024 Olympics in Paris in a neutral status and without a national flag.
– If the President of the United States said that, then he could be trusted. As former head of the Russian Olympic Movement, such a decision does not seem possible to me, while all the countries of the world, America in the lead, wet us like this, us and our athletes. I can’t believe anything right now, everything will be just as softly discussed, but it won’t get anywhere without an agreement between the two presidents. We will wait for Vladimir Putin to reach an agreement with the American president.
I know all these leaders very well and I can say that it is only a bluff, I am tired of this lie, so I do not believe the head of the American Olympic and Paralympic committee. If they said so, it means they go against their president. In general, I agree and support their decision, but it’s a shame that it’s not true, Tyagachev told .
