Criticism of Russia’s return to sport is ‘deplorable’, says IOC FMTNews FMTSports
Athletes from Russia and Belarus were banned from most international competitions following the invasion of Ukraine.
The IOC on Wednesday issued a set of recommendations for international sports federations that will allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to return since their ban last year following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. But governments in Ukraine, Poland and the Czech Republic, among others, have been angered by the IOC’s plan for Russian and Belarusian athletes to return, saying they have no place in world sport with the war still ongoing.
“It is deplorable that these governments do not address the question of double standards. We have not seen a single comment on their attitude on the participation of athletes from countries of the other 70 wars and armed conflict around the world.”
