Polish Sports Minister Bortnichuk announced his intention to blackmail the IOC with a boycott of the 2024 Games
The Minister of Sports and Tourism of Poland, Kamil Bortnichuk, announced on the RMF FM radio station that he intended to blackmail the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with a boycott of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
“The issue of the boycott should always be relevant in the context of our contacts with the IOC. Because the IOC is afraid of this,” Bortnichuk said.
On March 28, the IOC recommended that Russians who did not support the special operation in Ukraine be admitted to the competition in a neutral status. At the same time, athletes from Russia and Belarus associated with the armed forces or security agencies of their countries are recommended to be suspended from participating in tournaments.
At the end of February 2022, most sports organizations suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus on the recommendation of the IOC. The decision on the participation of representatives of these countries in the 2024 Olympics has not yet been made.
