Sport and Russia. President of the International Olympic Committee threatens Ukraine

"Thomas Bach is very burning. He wants to return the Russians to the Olympics, but there is very little time, and who want to support him even less. " Opinion. Instead of not entering Russians and Belarus, the President of the International Olympic Committee has passed to threats to Ukraine. Thomas Bach wrote a letter to the President of the NOC of Ukraine, in which he urged to abandon the possible boycott of the 2024 Olympics.

He stated that the participation of athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport under a neutral flag in Paris-2024 has not even been discussed, and therefore NOC should stop sending letters to other federations. Like, it is pressure on them and it is unacceptable. Bach frankly lies that such discussions are not conducted. On December 9, the IOC Olympic summit took place, which was opened about the opportunity to return Russians and Belarusians to international sports.

And in January, the IOC proposed on the one hand to strengthen sanctions to Russia in sports. But he immediately called the conditions under which Russians can return to international competitions. Bach writes in the letter that it is discriminated against athletes to prohibit athletes through their passport, and even refers to the UN.

And the fact that their country attacked your, so "sports palitics", and in general, the war not only goes around the world, but no other pages are leaving, and you start. "NOC is responsible for compliance with the Olympic Charter," Bach wrote. It is essentially a threat to the NOC of Ukraine, because the Charter contains sanctions for its violation.
