Earlier, IOC President Thomas Bach said that the suspension of membership in the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) did not imply the automatic imposition of similar sanctions against Russian sports federations by international federations.
“The IOC has identified alleged violations on our part, and this has political implications. The IOC can only recommend, but not govern, international federations. Unfortunately, as the Olympic year approaches, the IOC is beginning to impose its rules. terms, saying: “We have terminated membership in the ROC, and it is up to you to decide” “whether or not to introduce sanctions against Russian athletes.” Nevertheless, there is independent organizations in the world that are difficult to subordinate to the influence of the IOC and these do not support its decisions,” Zhurova noted.
