Former world boxing champion State Duma deputy Nikolai Valuev comments “Sports Express” He responded to the words of International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach: incriminating Russia is violating the Olympic Charter.
“Frankly, there is already some form of Bidenism here. The thief’s hat is burning, the butt on the chair is rustling. But considering his age, he should still be sane,” Valuev said.
On February 28, 2022, the International Olympic Committee appealed to international sports federations and recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
At the meeting of the IOC Executive Committee on March 28, 2023, it was proposed to allow the Russians to remain in neutral status if the athletes are not actively involved in supporting military operations. In December 2023, the IOC decided to allow Russian athletes to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in neutral status, subject to a number of conditions.
The Paris Olympics will take place between July 26 and August 11, 2024.
