“A lot has changed since 2007. Sochi’s participation was really excellent. Then, during the Guatemalan candidacy, Jacques Rogge, who was an independent president of the IOC, demonstrated true independence, which cannot be said of the current president, Thomas Bach. We hoped that Bach would be our friend, but unfortunately his behavior does not correspond to the values accepted in the Olympic movement. You know how much they are now trying to humiliate our athletes. They tried to deprive our athletes of medals in Sochi! We were forced to defend them in court and our athletes won,” Chernyshenko said.
