Athletistic/ Others. Since March 2022, many Russian athletes have been suspended from participating in international competitions. The corresponding sanctions were imposed on them for political reasons. Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin spoke about it.
– “Thanks” to some leaders of the modern International Olympic Committee, we learned that an invitation to the Games is not an unconditional right of the best athletes, but a kind of privilege and that it can be earned not by results sports, but by some political gestures that have nothing to do with sporting relations, and that the Games themselves can be used as a tool of political pressure against people who have nothing to do with politics, and as crude and, in fact, racist, ethnic. discrimination”, Sport24 quotes Putin.
Just recently, the IOC temporarily suspended the ROC. This happened in connection with the inclusion of representative offices of new regions of the Russian Federation in the Republic of China.
