The International Olympic Committee did not recognize the eldest son of the illegally elected president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, Viktor Lukashenko, as the new head of the Belarusian National Olympic Committee.
Furthermore, Dmitry Baskov, president of the Belarusian Ice Hockey Federation, businessman and participant in rallies in support of Lukashenka, was not recognized as a member of the NOC executive committee. Write about this TUT.BY.
“The International Olympic Committee has confirmed that the sanctions against them remain valid. Therefore, they will not be able to attend the Olympic Games and other IOC events. The organization will not negotiate with them, maintaining contact exclusively with the NOC General Secretary , Polina Golovina, “the statement read.
It should be noted that the IOC was extremely disappointed with a number of events. In particular, the fact that, in addition to the February 26 elections of Viktor Lukashenko and Dmitry Baskov, Alexander Lukashenko himself was on the list of candidates. Although at the time of the elections, all three were under the sanctions of the committee.
The latter confirmed that the restrictive measures against the Belarusian National Olympic Committee remain in force. This means that you will not be able to receive financial payments, except for funds intended for athletes.
The IOC also added that they will not invite senior Belarusian officials to the Olympics. All federations are obliged to guarantee equal treatment of athletes, excluding any discrimination based on political opinions.
Note: On February 26, Alexander Lukashenko said that none of his sons would become head of state after him. This statement was made after Viktor Lukashenko became the head of the Belarusian National Olympic Committee.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Alexander Lukashenko recently awarded his son Viktor Lukashenko the rank of reserve major general.
