«They will go homeless» : Russian Olympic champion hysterically demands Russians be banned from participating in the Olympics.

Russia is actively harassing so-called neutral athletes who agree to the conditions of admission to the 2024 Olympic Games without national flags and anthems. Such athletes will "go homeless" to Paris, and they have no right to manage their careers themselves.

This statement was made by the head of the Russian Fencing Federation and two-time Olympic champion Ilgar Mamedov in a commentary to the propaganda channel Match TV. The Vladimir Putin regime's henchman demanded that the leadership of the aggressor country categorically ban athletes from going to the Games in the French capital.

"There will be no Olympics for us. We cannot divide society in any way. And we cannot leave the decision to each federation. Because one federation thinks this way, another thinks differently. This cannot be allowed, otherwise there will be anarchy. Is it really so difficult to determine this? If 30-40 people from all over the country go there, they will go homeless. There will be no teams, and there will be no strongest in individual competitions. What should we agree to? To a bone that was thrown? This cannot be allowed," Mamedov said.
