Rodnina appreciated the IOC check against Isinbayeva and Tarpishchev

Rodnina said that the IOC is getting rid of Russia after checking Isinbayeva and Tarpishchev

Three-time Olympic champion, State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina appreciated the check of the ethics committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) against members of the organization Elena Isinbayeva and Shamil Tarpishchev for their involvement in the Russian Armed Forces (RF Armed Forces). Her words are quoted by Sport-Express.

Rodnina said that the departure of Isinbayeva and Tarpishchev from the IOC would not reduce Russia’s influence in the organization. She noted that both of their terms of membership in the committee are coming to an end. “Two votes with a common collusion can have little effect. They no longer know how to get rid of us!” the MP summed up.

Earlier on June 21, IOC communications director Mark Adams announced the check. He said that support for hostilities and contractual obligations with military structures would be considered.

On March 28, the IOC recommended that Belarusians and Russians who did not support the special operation in Ukraine be allowed to compete in a neutral status. At the same time, it is recommended that athletes from Russia and Belarus associated with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or the security agencies of their countries be suspended from participating in starts.
