Athletistic/MOK. Chairman of the Duma Committee for Physical Culture and Sports Dmitry Svishchev expressed the opinion that IOC President Thomas Bach should consider resigning after being deceived by Russian pranksters.

The once well-known pranksters Vovan and Lexus presented themselves as African officials and chatted with Bach. During the conversation, the German official openly spoke about his attitude to the upcoming Friendship Games in Russia and the doping case of figure skater Kamila Valieva.

“Bach’s statements disappointed me. After such a failure, which occurred after communicating with our pranksters, Bach should think about the issue of resignation and write a letter of resignation, like a true gentleman. He said that he was necessary to punish the participants of the Friendship Games. However, according to his functions, he must develop the sport and not threaten the athletes. Is this really worthy of the IOC President? He deeply disappointed me,” said commented Svishchev for Sport-Express.
