Former Spartak forward Movsisyan described the decision to dismiss the Russians as shameful.

Former Spartak Moscow striker Yura Movsisyan spoke about the exclusion of Russia from international sports.

For him, changing sports citizenship right now is an extreme and bizarre decision.

“You know you’re a Russian athlete and you’re competing for another country – is that true? Number one. I hope soon the Russians will be allowed to compete and every athlete can represent their country in the international arena.

This is not quite the right decision, athletes have nothing to do with it. Politics and sports should be separated, this is a shameful decision.

I hope the bans will be lifted as soon as possible. This is wrong: you do nothing – and you are removed, ”says Movsisyan Meta reviews.

At the end of February, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a call to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions.

After that, various international sports organizations began to exclude Russian athletes from competitions. Also, major international competitions from Russia have been postponed or cancelled.

Some athletes have obtained the right to compete in a neutral status or under the auspices of sports organizations.

Previously, the head of the Moscow “Torpedo” Denis Maslov commented Information about the possible transfer of Fiorentina striker Alexander Kokorin.
