Athletistic/ Others. Today, November 17, WADA Director General Olivier Niggli said that Russia does not have the right to host the Friendship Games. The head of the Russian Wrestling Federation, Mikhail Mamiashvili, spoke about this.

– Absurd comments. The worst is the influence of an overwhelming minority which imposes its decisions which destroy world sport. Is this the opinion of the global sports community? Of course not. Just another bigot said something. But on what basis? This is a fundamental destruction of the Olympic movement.

I am convinced that their task is to make the sports field an instrument of political pressure. What creative position do they defend? Only destruction and aggression against Russia,” Mamiashvili said, as quoted by Match TV.
