Athletistic/MOK. International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach admitted that the organization had asked Ukrainians to monitor Russian athletes’ statements on the Internet in order to prevent their participation in the Paris Summer Olympics.

“We have a special supervisory commission that monitors the Internet, media and public statements. We also contacted the Ukrainian side – not only offering, but also asking them to provide us with information about these athletes or officials,” said Bach during an interview with Russian Pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus).

The Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
