In Finland called the pro-Russian CIO

Down-the-line.com / Others. The President of the National Olympic Committee of Finland, Jan Vapavuori, expressed his position on the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which advocated the possibility of admitting Russian athletes to international competitions under certain conditions.

For his part, Vapavuori hopes that the Russians and Belarusians will not participate in the Paris Olympics, but admits that the IOC is “pro-Russian to the point of madness”. He also notes that international sports federations can make decisions on admission, but the IOC has set strict conditions in its recommendations, which reduces the risk of returning athletes from these countries.
