“If you offset the costs, then everyone. To set the condition: “Let's get some places and results,” is a strange approach. In principle, $ 250 is not $ 10 thousand. I can get this money from my pocket, attach it to the application and send it, which I already did. It would be good for the federation to take these costs. This situation is a consequence of the actions of the VFLA, not the current leadership, but the previous one. We should not be affected. If it’s their fault, they should fork out, ”Shubenkov told the Athletics channel on YouTube.

Due to the suspension of VFLA membership in World Atheltics, Russian athletes are not allowed to compete in international competitions under their own flag, only in the status of a neutral athlete.

Earlier it was reported that the VFLA intends to revoke the license of coach Ukhov and Shkolina.
