“In the current environment, sport should be relegated to the background, health care should be in the first place,” the RFEF press service quoted Rubiales as saying.

It is noted that Rubiales, at a meeting with representatives of other Spanish sports federations, submitted a request for the transfer of the Games to Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., who is a member of the IOC.

Earlier it was reported that according to the head of World Athletics, Sebastian Coe, there is no need at all costs to hold the Olympic Games 2020.
