Athletistic/Other. Legendary Russian hockey player, well-known coach and sports official Vyacheslav Fetisov has called the British government’s letter to major sponsors of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a direct violation of Olympic principles.

  • Fetisov: “It’s not easy for me to say something to athletes who are preparing for who knows what”

“According to IOC rules, any interference by governments in the Olympic movement is prohibited! The IOC should have immediately disqualified the United Kingdom from the Olympic movement for a period of time. This is direct interference in the affairs of a public organization “It’s one of the first principles of the IOC. And I don’t understand why they’re silent now. That says a lot. The unlimited number of potential leaders just rolls around. It’s a violation of all rights.” Britain is guilty in many cases, in many conflicts, but no one has taken them away Their great helmsman Sebastian Coe, in 1980, came to Moscow and became Olympic champion despite the fact that their government decided not to participate in the Games. And now he is leading many processes to withdraw our athletes,” KP.RU quotes Fetisov as saying.
