Sports commentator and TV presenter Dmitry Guberniev spoke about the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to warn athletes against discrimination against Israelis. Guberniev quotes his words “Sports Express”.
“Yes, this is pure hypocrisy and hypocrisy. Absolute hypocrisy, there’s not even anything to comment on here. So Russians and Belarusians should suffer for everything, but such rules apply to everyone. Therefore, this is absolute hypocrisy, absolute,” Guberniev said.
The IOC said Israeli athletes could not face discrimination because they were not responsible for the government’s actions.
At the end of February 2022, the IOC issued an appeal to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
The organization has not set a deadline for lifting the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). Additionally, no final decision regarding the admission of Russians to the Games has been announced.
Previously at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs statedThe IOC will show Nazism if it does not reinstate Russian athletes.
