The Ministry of Sports and the State Duma wanted to limit the travel of athletes from Russia abroad
The Ministry of Sports, together with the State Duma, will develop restrictions on the travel of talented Russian athletes abroad. The country’s Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin announced this decision to the RBC Telegram channel.
According to him, the Ministry of Sports, together with deputies, will develop relevant regulations. “Let’s see how we can protect the interests of Russian hockey, athletes, coaches and sports schools in order to limit the departure of talented athletes,” Matytsin said.
On October 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an investigation into the transfers of young Russian hockey players to foreign clubs. “We need to understand what we should do with these hockey businessmen who take children from sports schools and drag them abroad,” said the head of state.
On March 28, the International Olympic Committee recommended that Belarusians and Russians who did not support the special operation in Ukraine be allowed to compete in 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 excluded from participation in competitions.
