"It is clear that as long as the NWO is underway, the position of World Athletics will not change. Until the crisis is resolved, there is no need to wait for changes in our sports situation, "RIA Novosti quoted Shubenkov as saying.

On March 23, World Athletics extended the suspension of Russian athletes from international competitions and restored the membership of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA).

The International Olympic Committee recommended that international federations allow Russians who do not support the NWO to start as neutral athletes. At the same time, the organization proposes not to allow athletes associated with the armed forces and security agencies to compete.

Earlier it was reported that Shubenkov believes that the Russians will go to the Olympic Games in Paris.
