IPC = International Paralympic Committee President Parsons said at a meeting that he decided not to allow Belarusian athletes to participate in the Beijing Paralympic Games, which will start on the 4th, with the RPC = Russian Paralympic Committee. It is a firm belief that we should not be confused. I am proud of this principle and values, but now that the war is approaching, it is impossible. " It made me bleed that it was a decision.
He added, "I didn't expect the teams and teams to boycott. I can't say how many Paralympic committees have said that, but yesterday's decision has changed a lot." He revealed how the board's decision was overturned overnight.
"I'm assuming that RPC and Belarus will take legal action, but I'm sure it was the right decision," he said.
Regarding the RPC and Belarusian teams who were unable to participate in the tournament, he said, "They did not cause any problems. We are proceeding with the procedure so that we can return safely as soon as possible."
