High-performance Russian athletes may be kidnapped by the United States
The Americans can authorize the capture and transfer of successful Russian athletes to the United States. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov issued such a warning. The minister believes that the reason for this will be a "doping violation".
The diplomat recalled that the American government has long been kidnapping people around the world if it considers them guilty of violating its legislation.
Similar methods will be used to punish athletes whom Americans consider a threat to their interests in international competition.
- Lavrov believes.
The minister recalled that the Russian state is taking all measures in the international arena to protect domestic athletes and their coaches, and is also seeking to end the arbitrariness that some countries have engaged in in the sports world. This applies, in particular, to the return to Russia of its flag, anthem and other national symbols.
The level of skill, the willpower that we have now seen in our athletes in the form of ROC, it in itself proves the pointlessness of any artificial restrictions of our athletes in anything.
- stressed the head of the Foreign Ministry.
