This opinion of 15 June was expressed by the Deputy of the Communist party, first Deputy Chairman of the state Duma Committee on international Affairs Leonid Kalashnikov in the program “Politics” on “the First channel”.

“Can’t this case be reduced to the conflict of fans. Today, the sport is not world sport today — this is war. Sport has become in the continuation of the sanctions pressure on Russia,” — said Kalashnikov.

Meanwhile, Russia is in a losing position to defend their interests within international sports organizations, said the Deputy.

“We have agreed in the 90s with law enforcement in Arbitration… with the decision of the court in such disputes. Not in a civil court, and in Arbitration in Geneva. This is our fault. As we climbed, pulled himself to the PACE and began to sign everything, and now we are beaten by the same weapon. We now slurp it,” — said Kalashnikov.

“Going to sue the accuser is meaningless, because we signed the Arbitration, and we on this procedure go to the Arbitration of the IOC,” he continued.

Ultimately, it is the position of Russia in international sport organizations and determines the position of our hand, the position of the Minister of sports of Russia Vitaly Mutko, “which is that we are not going to submit the appeal on a conditional suspension,” said the parliamentarian.

“In Soviet times we had equal representation in all structures of the International Olympic Committee. Now let’s see how, for example, now Americans in WADA? 40. From Europe 20 people from Russia — 2 technical representative,” — said Kalashnikov.

 

We will remind, the situation in the championship of Europe on football escalated after in Marseille on 9 June there was a mass brawl Russian and English fans ahead of the match Russia — England. Injured 35 people. After that Russian national team conditionally disqualified until the end of Euro 2016 in the event of a similar incident, the Russian players will be forced to leave the tournament.
