Athletistic/Tennis. Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) chief Shamil Tarpishchev reacted to comments made by former WADA chief IOC member Craig Reedy. Earlier, Reedy had described as “unlikely” the chances of participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the 2024 Olympics, to be held in Paris.

Tarpishchev commented on Russia’s possible withdrawal from Wimbledon in 2023

“The rules for qualifying for the Olympics have not changed with us. The best in terms of ranking points come after Roland-Garros. To be guaranteed entry, you have to be in the top 80, but no more than four representatives of the country pass. But at the moment we are suspended and it is premature to discuss it – we are waiting to see how the situation in the world will develop. In any case, it will be the decision of the International Olympic Committee “, TASS quotes Tarpishchev.
