Russian sports equal fraud, war propaganda, support for terrorism - skeleton athlete Geraskevich

Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Geraskevych has reacted to the information that the ex-football player of the Russian national team Diniyar Bilyaletdinov received a summons to the Military Commissariat

Geraskiewicz wrote about this on Twitter.

"I said a few months ago that a huge number of Russian athletes are representatives of the Russian army and that their suspension is the only logical solution. Then I was told that this is all fiction, that Russian athletes do not take part in this. And what do you say now? Russian  sport is not about Olympic values ​​and the good things that sport should represent. Russian sport is fraud, war propaganda and support for terrorism," said Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Geraskevych.
