Olympic champion in swimming Rylov said he was not considering the possibility of changing citizenship
Two-time Olympic swimming champion Evgeny Rylov spoke about a possible change of sports citizenship. It is reported by “Match TV”.
According to the Russian, he does not consider such a possibility. “Under such conditions, definitely not. I’m not ready to give up the country for my own personal gain,” Rylov said.
The swimmer added that he does not condemn compatriots who decided to play for other countries. “Everyone strives for an Olympic medal, and for him this is the meaning of life. There is no point in condemning, life will show who made the right choice, ”said Rylov.
On July 17, it became known that the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports was preparing a bill that would oblige Russian athletes to pay compensation for changing citizenship. “This is the money of our taxpayers, which should not be wasted,” said committee chairman Dmitry Svishchev.
