Two-time Olympic hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov expressed his opinion regarding the statement of the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov on the need to respect the decision of Russian athletes who will go to compete at the Paris Games, since they could not have another opportunity.

There is a certain injustice in that.

Athletes are now starting to apply to compete, and Bach says the IOC is taking a hands-off approach to their affairs. But what happened before that? They ignored all the principles of the Olympic Charter and international sports federations. And now, at the last moment, they are making some concessions to us,” Fetisova is quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
