Athletistic/ Others. Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) President Shamil Tarpishchev commented on Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren’s remarks about the unfair suspension of Russian athletes from international tournaments.
“The further, the more such statements will be. Enlightenment should come. Therefore, I am grateful to the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) for supporting us. This is we who have suffered the least,” Tarpishchev said.
On August 14, in an interview with sportschau.de, Richard McLaren supported Russian athletes, noting that their suspension from international competitions is unfair because. they did not start and are not involved in the political conflict that is currently unfolding. A few years ago, McLaren headed the WADA commission investigating the doping scandal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.
