IOC Commission did not allow Russian Abdulrashid Sadulayev to participate in the European qualification for the Olympic Games in Paris. According to the head of the FSBR, Mikhail Mamiashvili, the athlete will still go to Azerbaijan, since the federation still hopes to resolve the issue.
The situation around the upcoming Olympics in Paris and the participation of Russians in it is becoming increasingly heated. Even if Sadulaev comes to Baku, he will not be allowed to compete: in “Athena” (internal registration system for wrestlers) he has a ban from the IOC.
