Athletistic / Tennis. The IOC commented on the possible suspension of Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov from the Paris Olympic Games for having published the Saint-Georges tape on a social network.
On Victory Day, Khachanov congratulated his subscribers with a postcard on which the number nine with a St. George ribbon was depicted. On the foreign Internet, this immediately caused a wave of indignation and became the reason for an appeal to the IOC to deprive the Russian of its neutral status.
The IOC was not able to precisely answer this question, since the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) has not yet provided the list of those selected for the Olympic Games.
“We recommend contacting the ATP, which is the organization responsible for the men’s professional tennis circuit. International federations will be required to provide a list of qualifiers.

Individual Neutral Athlete (AIN) lists (along with the criteria and rationale used to confirm eligibility) are submitted to the IOC upon completion of qualification in the relevant sport/discipline, and the IOC will then review these lists for make a final decision on eligibility. by sport.”, – commented the IOC.
If Khachanov succeeds in qualifying for the Paris Games, a special IOC commission will be involved in his new control.
