billyhoyle Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Who did Iran try to send in their federation to Albania? For the event in the U.S., the main person to be denied entry was Alireza Dabir, and there was no way he was going to be let into the country based on his prior comments. During a televised interview in early January, the federation president went political as he expressed his admiration for Iran’s top general commander, Qasem Soleimani, killed in a US airstrike two years ago. “We keep chanting ‘death to America,’ but what counts is that we demonstrate that in action,” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, they still have the opportunity to compete, just that Russia will not be in the story. mspart Expand "the IOC reserves the right to decide about the participation of individual neutral athletes with a Russian passport in the Olympic Games Paris 2024 and the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 at the appropriate time." Note the reference to "individual neutral athletes". It's not all or none. They are leaving in the opportunity to be selective about admission. If, say, Sidakov is truly pro Russia as respects Ukraine, he could be banned while other Russians are llowed to compete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
