Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for President Vladimir Putin, voiced strong doubts about the idea that a Russian athlete might sign a document condemning the SVO in order to take part in the Olympic Games. His remarks are cited by aif.ru.
He asserted that no one could have expected a Russian athlete to pledge condemnation of the SVO merely to compete in the Olympics, condemning the act as a betrayal of the homeland for a prize. Yet, he suggested that the obligation to resist such pressure has loosened, and that those who rank might still reach the Games.
In late February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) advised international sports federations to restrict the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in major competitions.
To qualify for the Games, Russian participants would need to agree to updated participation terms, including a commitment to the Olympic Charter and the peaceful mission of the Olympic movement, according to the IOC. Athletes from Russia and Belarus would still not be counted in the medal tally.
On March 14, Stanislav Pozdnyakov, president of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), stated that athletes taking part in the Olympics would be required to denounce the SVO and sign other documents that conflicted with domestic law. He noted, however, that a formal criterion requiring condemnation of the SVO was not specified.
The Summer Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
Earlier, Irina Rodnina commented on the IOC’s actions toward Russia.
