On September 14 and 15, an expanded meeting of the Athletes’ Commission of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) will take place.
“At the meeting (Thursday) they said that no one would boycott the Games. As for the nuances associated with athletes, it is better to talk with the ROC. There are specific criteria, after which athletes are not expected ( at the Olympic Games) in any case. But the most important thing is that the selection will already be over, after which there will be no more possibility of performing.
The ROC spoke out on banning Russians from participating in the Asian Games
No one will boycott the Games; it is not known who will participate or not. I think (ROC head) Stanislav Alekseevich Pozdnyakov thinks about athletes and the future of our sport. And if there is no longer any alternative to the Olympic Games, what is the point of boycotting them?” RIA Novosti quotes Legkov.
