On his Twitter (blocked in the Russian Federation), he indicated that the presence of Russian athletes at the Paris Games is now being discussed, writes RIA Novosti. At the same time, Filippo stressed that no one wondered about the presence of American athletes at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The politician recalled that shortly before, the United States illegally invaded Iraq, causing “innumerable casualties.”
Recall that at the end of January, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, said that Russian and Belarusian athletes could compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in a neutral state. According to him, the suspension of athletes for their passports is not in line with the values and mission of the Olympic Charter.
Recently, the IOC announced that the decision on the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in the 2024 Olympic Games has not yet been made. It was noted that the question of the performance of Russians and Belarusians in competitions in Asia is being discussed. .
