“I think this is a very unpleasant blow. This ongoing process is ongoing. At one time, we complied with all the requirements presented to us both legislatively and regarding personnel matters. But now it turns out that the dialogue was, but it turns into some kind of system. From my point of view, this decision is unfounded, there is no evidence. This creates a certain psychological perception within society, puts pressure on athletes. I believe that the issue should be raised at a higher level of the Olympic movement. Collective responsibility in a democratic society is unacceptable, ”the deputy said.

Krivonosov recalled that the Olympic movement was created in order to unite people, but because of the punishment of innocent athletes, this idea itself is discredited.

Earlier, the WADA executive committee decided to remove Russia from participating in major international competitions for fraud with data from the Moscow laboratory.
