Double Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasilyev in a conversation with , he called Trondheim Mayor Kent Ranum an idiot and said that Norway is the most doped country in the world, where “the sick beat the healthy.”
Earlier, the mayor of Trondheim, Norway, Kent Ranum, expressed the position of the local government, which does not intend to allow Russian athletes to compete. Trondheim will host the next World Ski Championships.
— The mayor of Trondheim is an idiot, there is no other way to call him. On the West side, we are now living in an era of cynicism, hypocrisy and abomination. In Russia there is a saying: “The thief himself shouts the loudest ‘stop the thief'”, and now the Norwegians are this same thief. Norway is the most doped country in the world. There, all the sick beat the healthy. The mayor could have remained silent on the anti-doping obligations. The Norwegians, of course, are great, they fully use the principle “the best defense is attack”. As for our non-invitation to Trondheim, the leaders and organizers are fueling discord between countries and athletes. Instead of looking for ways of dialogue and bringing people together through sport, they indulge in incitement,” Vassiliev told .
Since March 1, 2022, Russian skiers no longer participate in international tournaments; sanctions were imposed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).
