Athletistic / Others. Four-time Olympic biathlon champion Alexander Tikhonov has shared his opinion on the recent statement by the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach. Earlier he talked about the withdrawal of the Russians.

“His words remind me a lot of the situation in Russia. We are told to pass a doping law – we don’t accept, we are told not to inject – we continue. We have been dishonored for a long time.

Bach is a related figure. I know him well, Thomas is a very competent comrade. But if the IOC sponsor was not America, but Russia, then we would dictate the terms and we would order the music.

Thomas will be told what they order,” Tikhonov quotes metatares.
