Olympic short track champion, 2022 Games silver medalist in speed skating Ruslan Zakharov said he did not understand the initiative to remove Russian sports federations from the jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Russian State Duma deputies Roman Teryushkov and Eduard Isakov on Wednesday introduced a bill to revoke the recognition of CAS sports arbitration by Russian sports federations.
I am surprised by this offer. Having decided to withdraw from CAS, you can potentially find yourself outside of international sports in principle. Every athlete wants to become an Olympic champion. I also want to become an Olympic champion again, even if we are forced to compete again under the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee. Such initiatives will destroy the dreams of many athletes, Zakharov told .
