Colorado State issued a public apology to Utah State & Ukrainian guard Max Shulga after some of its fans chanted 'Russia' at Shulga during Saturday's game.
Shulga -- who is from Kyiv, Ukraine, where his family still resides -- went to the free throw line late in the game, and the"Russia" chants could be heard from the Colorado State student section."On behalf of Colorado State, we apologize to the student-athlete and Utah State," the school said."This is a violation of our steadfast belief in the Mountain West Sportsmanship Policy and University Principles of Community.
"Every participant, student, and fan should feel welcomed in our venues, and for something like this to have occurred is unacceptable at Colorado State.". Later this month will mark one year since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The invasion has led to the ban of Russian players from numerous sporting events, including Wimbledon last year, and an ongoing debate over whether to allow Russian athletes at next year's Paris Olympics.
