“Let’s look at what happened at Roland Garros. Russian athletes have participated there in recent years. They will be there a few weeks before the start of the Olympic Games in a tennis tournament. We see Russian athletes participating in many competitions internationals, where neutral status applies. If someone refuses to participate under these conditions, it is their personal matter. However, I heard Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev express his desire to go to the Olympics , calling it one of the highlights of his career. Why can you play at Roland Garros, and four weeks later, on the same court, you should say: “You are not welcome here.” Or the athlete would say: “I will not participate.” This makes no sense, Le Monde quotes Bach as saying:
