The captain of the Ukrainian men’s biathlon team criticized the head of the IOC for wanting to bring back Russian athletes.
Will boycott any competition where Russian athletes are allowed to compete. So the captain of the men’s biathlon team of Ukraine, Dmitry Pidruchny, responded to the initiative of the head of the IOC, Thomas Bach.
In addition, in a comment to Suspilne Sport, the athlete said that the return of athletes from aggressor countries to the arena would be a defeat for all sports in the world.
“I think it is a big mistake that Thomas Bach will achieve it at all. It will not give him a positive reputation.
If people like Bach achieve this, it is a mistake. This means that world sport and the civilized world have lost this battle.
For Russia, sport is one of the propaganda tools. Whatever flag they fly, it will be bad for the whole world.
I’m ready to boycott all competitions where the conquerors will play, let’s say,” said Pidruchny.
In addition, the leader of the Ukrainian men’s team criticized former biathlete Martin Fourcade for wanting to get the Russians back on track.
“I think people like him may be working with Russian money,” Pidruchny said of Fourcade.
It should be noted that Fourcade previously said that he would be ashamed of France if it banned Russians and Belarusians from participating in competitions.
It can be remembered that IOC President Thomas Bach once again stood up for the Russians and condemned the Ukrainians.
