LDOG 2,199 Posted March 29 #78 Share Posted March 29 This "thought police" policy to accept or deny athletes is madness. It should be accept everyone or no one. No in between. mrv86 and Biathlonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No in between. Then the answer will be no one, and it’s clear that some won’t accept that so around we go in circles again Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Art 19 Posted March 29 #80 Share Posted March 29 Russian swimmer and world record holder Yevgenia Chikunova appears to support Russia's aggression against Ukraine. On Instagram, "neutral athlete" Chikunova liked three posts in support of the war and Putin by another swimmer and war supporter, Yevgeny Rylov. In the first post, dated May 9, 2022, which Chikunova liked, Rylov says that he "supports his president, who does not allow clouds to gather near our borders." Also in this post, Rylov grieves that "our guys are dying." In a post dated May 9, 2023, which was also liked by Chikunova, Rylov shared a photo of himself at a propaganda rally with the letter Z on his jacket. He wrote about his "sincere support for his President Putin" and that he "did not betray the dignity of the country." Rylov also emphasized that he does not regret his decision to support the aggression against Ukraine. In a June 24, 2023 post also liked by Chikunova, Rylov says that he always "supports his president Putin" and that all people "should be on the same side as the president." These are the kind of posts that the "neutral" athlete Yevgenia Chikunova likes. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
