IOC head: Strange, but we have not heard a word from a number of states about athletes from countries involved in 70 wars in the world, in addition to the war in Ukraine

On the one hand, the policy of the head of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, can be called "spinning like a frying pan", on the other hand, even in his statements there are at least some reasonable notes.

For example, today the head of the IOC criticized those countries that are trying to block the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the Olympic Games and pre-Olympic tournaments, even under a “neutral flag”. The very fact that the IOC is once again promoting the idea of ​​actually depersonalizing athletes through their rejection of the symbols of their country, of course, is unacceptable. At the same time, Bach is trying to remind those who are not ready to see Russians and Belarusians even in such a status about the Olympic principle and the principle of the autonomy of sports.



Thomas Bach said that criticism of the return of athletes from Russia and Belarus undermines the principle of the autonomy of sport, its existence above political processes.

Head of the IOC:

It is regrettable that individual states do not want to accept the position of the majority of the members of the Olympic Movement. Even worse is that these same states use a policy of double standards. It is strange, but we have not heard a word from them in relation to athletes from countries involved in 70 wars and conflicts in the world, in addition to Ukrainian.


For the head of the IOC, this is a very strong statement. In fact, Thomas Bach for the first time calls for countries to be consistent. If they discriminate against athletes from Russia because of the events in Ukraine, then why don’t they raise the issue of excommunication from the Olympic Games, for example, athletes from the USA, Turkey or Israel, whose troops are illegally present in Syria or attack its territory, athletes from France, whose army is still actually occupying a number of African countries.

While Bach asks questions. But to give answers to them, apparently, it is still scary for him ... Although the answers are obvious even without Bach.

            It's time to get used to it, there is no freedom of speech in the West, it's here that you can drown for the Ukrainians or simply against the NWO. And the maximum that will be you will lose part of the money, and in the USA if you support their enemies, you will sit down for 50 years. Well, yes, it has always been like that.

            I’ll try to explain why Bach became more accommodating .. The Tokyo Olympics shattered his reputation. Japan is a Western democratic country with high ideals by Western standards. money from the IOC. As soon as they didn’t throw mud at the Sochi Olympics. And the joke is that they stole credit money, the government was reinsured by this, the money came from the budget through trusted banks, and these bloodsuckers are still the same .. Everything that was built was supposed to become the property of developers , maybe with a subsequent buyout. It went into ownership, but it didn’t come to a buyout, everyone voluntarily gave everything to the benefit of the state, and left the debts for themselves, and then some of this and the business lost. And the people in the west are so shrill when the corruption scandal comes out climbs out.

              You probably wanted to say that the Tokyo Olympics crippled the very Olympic movement. Interest in the world to the Olympic Games is falling. In addition to the closure of women's sports, officially allowing incomprehensible creatures of an indeterminate gender to participate in the games, and the removal of one of the strongest teams from participation will greatly undermine the entertainment of the competition. I am already silent about the political aspect. The spectators of the Olympiad are not limited only to the countries of the West, and all over the world people shrugging their shoulders in bewilderment ask, where is the sport? And the IOC is essentially a commercial organization, in addition to contributions, it has a lot of money from advertising, broadcasting rights and so on. When the capitalists are hit on the most precious thing, that is, on the purse, then they allegedly begin to see clearly.

            Almost all "contributions" in the "pocket" of the IOC
            sale of television rights 47%

            ticket selling - 5%
            licensing - 3%
            Companies from the USA are the main buyers of TV broadcasting and advertising placement at the Olympiads.

            without Russia, someone there is a khan, I don’t believe it either.
            The mandatory annual contribution of the Russian Federation to the WADA budget for 2022 amounted to $1,27 million. In addition, each Sports Federation pays its own membership fees. So the annual membership fee to the IBU (International Federation of Biathlon) from the Russian Federation amounted to only € 150. The contribution to WADA is calculated based on the state's GDP and the number of athletes declared in the international pool. The United States pays the most, twice as much as the Russian Federation, Canada, China, Japan a little more than us ... We are at the level of Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy.
            In addition to mandatory contributions, the practice of voluntary contributions has taken root. and here the Western countries can afford voluntary contributions three to four times higher than mandatory ones. The Russian Federation pays approximately the same amount as the mandatory ones. Refusal of mandatory contributions or membership in the IF of sports, automatically excludes the country from the organization. Well, how, are very scary amounts or principles more important?

              Do you know where the higher costs go? For mandatory doping control of athletes with the participation of National A/D Laboratories. The cost of a set of two containers for collecting urine or blood samples costs € 300. Multiply by the thousands of Russian athletes in the international pool (tennis players alone 292 people) and the mandatory frequency of out-of-competition tests. And it’s good if you have accreditation and approval of your laboratory and RUSADA, otherwise you have to pay for the services of foreign doping officers and laboratories. Agree, how useful it is sometimes to know a little more than the first emotion - DO NOT PAY bastards!

      The slogan "sport is out of politics" or "autonomy of sport from politics" implies the rejection of explicit demonstration of the athletes' belonging to any country, i.e., the rejection of state symbols in principle for all participants in international competitions. How else to understand? In the case of national teams in team sports - a team with a number by lot ... Absurd? No. The absurdity is in the slogan.

          So the founder of modern OI
          The modern Olympic Games in many ways have nothing in common with those "games of the gods" claimed by their organizer (Pierre de Coubertin) and the current IOC functionaries, and other hangers-on near big-time sports. The slogan "sport is out of politics" is applied to any international sports competition - not only to the Olympic Games. The founder of the "games of the gods" had no problem with contestants from different countries, because in those days there were not many countries, and the state was one - the Empire ... The games were held during the four years / Olympiad in different places. It was easier to reach an agreement within one single State, and for the duration of the competitions, forget about strife and quarrels between themes and governors. Today it is impossible to separate international big sport from politics as long as the state symbols of different countries are used at competitions, both among participants and among spectators. When the prestige of the state at such competitions is advertised by an anthem, a flag, a sports uniform with the logo of the country, then the policy is explicit, not counting the advertising of the respective national manufacturers of sports equipment, etc. the pharmaceutical industry of "drugs of great achievements", special training bases for the elite, etc. There is a big game in the prestige of states!

      It's strange to hear that from him. Most likely, there is some practical explanation .. but not justice or some kind of reverence towards the Russians. This bastard has done so much harm to Russia - that it is just right to betray him to the Basmanny court. For Valiev alone - this bastard will burn in hell forever! (Let me remind you that underage athletes enjoy the right to protect the IOC from the publication of any information, journalistic and other pressure - and he simply revealed to the public the whole essence of the conflict (unproven!) And gave Valiev to vultures to journalists, who essentially tore it up).
      Well, all his "steps towards Russia" can only be called Jesuitism and abomination! Without an anthem, without a flag, only in a single color in white or gray, including the audience too (!!!), and even the actual renunciation of one's country must be signed ... Are these steps towards???

        I immediately remembered the “harassment” of Zagitova at the doping control in Pyeongchang, when she sat at the control post for 4 hours after training ... Our media described the bullying so colorfully and put the whole of Russia on its ears. And then the Head of our federation and respected T.A. Tarasov, who told the whole truth. It turned out that the d / o went to meet the interests of the athlete, waited for the end of the training and only then invited her to the test. And the girl could not draw the required volume of urine (90 ml) and sat and drank water and juices. It is forbidden by the rules to interrupt the sampling process and the athlete must sit "until he wins". And so it happened, and right from Zagitova’s point I went to the next evening workout. No violations on the part of the officer were recorded. None of our team protested, and only our media decided to play the card of patriotism - they beat us!

      Half of the members of the IOC, and this is 50 people out of 100, are citizens of Western countries. Another 20-30 people are non-Western novices. This is the majority, which guarantees the West the adoption of decisions pleasing to it. The problem is that they have allowed such distortions in their decisions over the past 15 years that the IOC and the Olympic Games no longer enjoy the same respect and authority as they used to. Double standards on doping, bans for political reasons, corruption in the choice of cities, here you can write a candidate. Here they are twitching. On the one hand, we must continue to guarantee the West its dirty interests, on the other hand, we must not fall into the mud ourselves with the rejection of all Olympic principles. This is the main contradiction of modern sports - guaranteeing the interests of Western countries leads international sports to decline and decay. If you do business in an honest way, the number of champions from the Western world will drop significantly. Swimmer Phelps, gymnast Biles, and many other sports icons in the United States are real dopingists, and Biles ate so much that she not only became a gray mouse when the Japanese detained her doping at customs in Tokyo 2021, but generally received a personality disorder and psychological stress . In general, the main dopingists in sports are Western countries, but primarily the Anglo-Saxons. Swimming, athletics, gymnastics, cycling, tennis - all of them are doped. But - it is possible, therapeutic exceptions are issued. Well, if anything, then the sample may be lost.
      The political pressure, especially on Russia after the Crimea and the Sochi victory, is unprecedented. Already 8 years of real terrorism. What about city elections? Paris and Los Angeles received 2024 and 2028 not during the competition, but by agreement. All upcoming games will only be in western countries - Italy 2026, Australia... That's how they do business.
      Differs for example from FIFA. There the West has 40 votes out of 200 countries/members. Russia also participated in 2016, 2020 euros under its own flag, as well as the 2018 World Cup. Over the past decade, the final tournaments of the World Cup were held in Qatar, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, previously there were Chile and Argentina ...
