He specifically called out Rublev who keeps on insisting that he has no idea what's going on, is not informed about the conflict, does not want to comment on anything, and how this attitude is essentially a tacit endorsement of Russia's actions. Not only that, but there's also the chance that a Russian or Belarusian athlete could make an explicit endorsement of Russia's actions. Ivan Kuliak did exactly that in March at a World Cup event in gymnastics by wearing a "Z" during the medal ceremony; happily, Illia Kovtun, a Ukrainian gymnast, won gold in the event (parallel bars), but it was really, really fucked up and bellicose for Kuliak to do that knowing he'd be standing next to a Ukrainian athlete. Sporting bodies, at this point, probably (and understandably) just don't want to take the risk. |
