The press service of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) commented Forbidden The Ministry of Sports of Ukraine will compete in tournaments for its athletes, together with Russians and Belarusians.
“This raises serious questions about the autonomy of Ukrainian sport. If such a decision is implemented, it will only harm the Ukrainian athlete community and national federations and will not affect the NWO in any way.
The IOC has always argued that governments should not decide which athletes can compete in which international competitions. This decision also contradicts the position of a number of Ukrainian athletes and other members of the Ukrainian Olympic community.
The IOC has always followed and will follow its own policy for the protection of athletes. Therefore, athletes who want to compete and lose the support of national sports federations and national Olympic committees due to government interference can receive direct support from the Olympic Movement Solidarity Fund and IOC athlete support programs for the Ukrainian Olympic community. ” opens “Match TV” IOC press release.
Recall that at the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a call to international sports federations and recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions.
At a meeting of the IOC executive committee on March 28, it was recommended that the Russians be allowed a neutral status if the athletes did not actively support the hostilities. Athletes representing law enforcement and armed forces will not be allowed to compete.
Former State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina statedthat everyone is tired of Ukraine’s complaints.
