Tatyana Tarasova said that athletes who want to change citizenship will change it
Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova appreciated the idea of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports to oblige Russian athletes who changed their citizenship to pay compensation. It is reported by “Championship”.
“Can this affect the decision of athletes who are thinking about changing citizenship? Anyone who wants to change citizenship will change. But we need to look at how much it will cost, ”Tarasova said.
The upcoming bill became known earlier on July 17. “This is the money of our taxpayers, which should not be wasted,” said committee chairman Dmitry Svishchev.
Earlier, the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs and Olympic champion in speed skating Svetlana Zhurova proposed to punish Russian athletes who change citizenship in the current situation. “My colleagues and I need to think about this, namely about legislative restrictions. I mean prohibiting the return of Russian citizenship to those who first changed it intentionally, ”said Zhurova.
