110 meters hurdles world champion Sergei Shubenkov said he did not understand why the World Athletics Association (World Athletics) did not give him neutral status to compete in international starts. His words convey “Pair TV”.
“This year I made a request, sent the documents, but did not receive a response. For some reason it looks like it won’t come this year. And if he comes, it will be a pity, because it will not be of any use now that the whole team cannot play,” he said.
Recall that at the end of February, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) addressed international sports federations and advised not to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to enter any competitions. Since 2015, Russian athletics has been under sanctions for doping scandals.
