“The IOC is following the example of the Americans. At some point the situation will change anyway and our athletes will participate. It’s a shame that this isn’t possible now. We are facing a very difficult situation. The IOC is under pressure from the United States and it is difficult for them to change anything. The quality and interest in the Olympic Games will decrease without the participation of our athletes,” Bykov emphasized in an interview with Metaratings.ru.
