Athletistic/ Others. In the spring of 2022, many Russian athletes were suspended from participating in international competitions. This recommendation was given by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In this regard, Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene accused Bach of duplicity.

– Bach’s duplicity is that he says it is dangerous for Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete. We see that tennis players travel around the world and everything is calm everywhere. We remove the British in parentheses. So let Bach tell the athletes – you are all responsible for what happens. And you are punished for it. But it is not necessary to tell the athletes that they are suspended for their safety, – RIA Novosti quoted Lasitskene.
