Teryushkov published a letter from the Russian Ministry of Sports, according to which, over the past ten years, 93 athletes have changed sports citizenship.
“In the letter you can see that about 200 million rubles were spent on the maintenance of “individualists”. This is only salary and prices from the moment they became collections. And there are also medicines, equipment, coaching staff, and so on. And there are no figures spent on training before registering for the national team, and that is also a lot .It turns out that the legislation puts the interest of individuals before the interest of society.
The president signed a law that to side with the enemy in a military situation would be treason. I also propose that the change of sports citizenship for national team athletes be considered high treason,” Teryushkov wrote.
