“The deputies cannot go - this is some kind of transcendent story!

Think about it, I took part in three Olympics as an athlete.

I have an Olympic order.

I was there in different guises - as a coach, and the head of Russian sports, and a senator.

He was one of those who brought our Olympics to the country.

After the President of our country in Guatemala, I made an appeal that we will host the best Olympic Games in history, give us a chance.

And then I can't go! "

- said Fetisov in an interview with FAN. 

On December 17, 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decided to restrict for two years the use of the state flag and anthem of the Russian Federation at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as at the world championships.

At the same time, top Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and State Duma deputies, are prohibited from attending the aforementioned competitions in the next two years.

Earlier, Fetisov refused to answer the question about the dismissal of Larionov.
