President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach shows duplicity, withdrawing Russian athletes from international competitions, allegedly for their own good, says Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene .
Previously, the IOC had recommended international federations not to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete due to events in Ukraine. Most federations accepted this recommendation.
– Bach’s duplicity is that he says it’s dangerous for Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete, but we see that tennis players travel around the world and everything is calm everywhere. We remove the British in parentheses. So let him just tell the athletes – you are Russians, you are all responsible for what is happening. And you are punished for it. But don’t tell athletes they’re suspended for their safety. Why fuss?
Everyone already understands that this is all due to the fact that I am from Russia. And that is the main message of the letter. Tell it like it is. There is no need to pretend to care about us. Just say that we are all to blame, – RIA Novosti Sport quotes Lasitskene.
