“We organize our games, to which we invite absolutely everyone. Another question is who will come? And Bach is only a leader of a supranational committee which, contrary to all the ideas of Olympism, accuses Russia to politicize the process. This is an unprecedented statement. He is trying to prevent these matches from taking place. This is unworthy behavior, but he has been demonstrating this behavior for several years,” Valuev told RIA Novosti Sport.
Previously, Bach warned international federations against allowing athletes to participate in the Friendship Games in Russia, which are being held by circumventing IOC recommendations.
