Russians participating in Wimbledon may be required to sign a code of conduct at the tournament
Russian players who are allowed to play at Wimbledon 2023 may be required to sign a code of conduct at the tournament. Such a condition for the participation of representatives of Russia in the competition was called by the Daily Mail.
It is clarified that the details of the document have not yet been worked out, but there will definitely be a ban on the demonstration of national symbols and support for the state. Violators will face disqualification.
In February, it was reported that the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), which organizes Wimbledon, could be deprived of the opportunity to host Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tournaments if it again bans Russian athletes from participating in competitions under its auspices. In addition, the organization may be fined.
In the spring of 2022, Russian tennis players were banned from playing in tournaments in the UK. Due to sanctions, domestic athletes were forced to miss Wimbledon. In other ATP and WTA competitions, the Russians perform in a neutral status.
