“Thomas Bach simply has no right to lead the International Olympic Committee. He has done too many things. But despite this, I do not think that anyone can destroy the Olympic movement. It will continue. Another question is who. We must understand that it is not only Bach’s desire to do such things, to take advantage of Russia’s isolated situation, but I am sure that all this is a temporary phenomenon,” Rodionenko quotes RIA Novosti.
Bach, 70, has led the IOC since 2013.
