“Unfortunately, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) will not be able to support Russian athletes who will participate in the Olympic Games in neutral status in any way. Because this story concerns not only the committee, but the Russian Federation as a whole.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has firmly and clearly stated: there should be no support for the Republic of China and the Russian Federation. Everything can fall into this concept: it can be the Ministry of Sports, individuals and legal entities of our country, even the parents of an athlete can fall under this concept.
Wiener reiterated that Russians should not participate in the Olympics as neutrals
Thus, the European Union is trying to get athletes to accept refugee status. I said it from the start. They tried to influence Putin by telling him that he himself would forbid traveling without the flag and anthem. But that did not work.
Now they have abolished our committee and are about to do so. Everything is being done to dishonor Russia as a state,” RT Zhurova quotes in Russian.
