Umar Kremlev, President of the International Boxing Association (IBA), criticized the leadership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Transmits words “Championship”.
“The current leadership of the International Olympic Committee has completely discredited itself and lost the respect of the entire sports community. Their behavior is similar to their own private shop, that is, leadership. We have no problems with the Olympic movement, with the Olympic family. There are problems with the personalities sitting in the leadership. I’m sure this will stop soon. Everyone is already tired of this circus, ”said Kremlev.
The IOC believes the IBA is in a management crisis. It is worth noting that the organization allows Russian athletes with national symbols to participate in international competitions, despite the IOC ban.
At the meeting of the IOC Executive Committee on March 28, 2023, it was recommended to allow the Russians to be in a neutral status, if the athletes are not actively engaged in supporting hostilities. Athletes representing law enforcement and armed forces will not be allowed to compete.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Chernyshenko declarationThat Russian sport is not isolated.
