The head of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), Stanislav Pozdnyakov, said that the organization has completely stopped funding neutral athletes.
The reason was previously received recommendations from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
💰"It was stated that athletes must refuse the flag, the anthem, and the National Olympic Committee. According to the IOC decision, which we consider illegitimate, it is stated that any athlete who receives the support of the ROC will violate the recommendations. For the same reason Among the athletes who will receive support from the ROC, there are no neutralized athletes. The ROC has completely stopped funding neutralized athletes," Pozdnyakov told reporters.
