Russian propagandists are already at it again with their hostile clamor! They claim that in the Russian goalball team, 40 players were ousted due to a conflict with the Blind Sports Federation of the Moscow region. According to them, the athletes complained that their facilities were turned into a phantom intimate massage salon. This news is reported by the publication 'Glavkom'.
The team's head coach, Oleksiy Shipilov, stated that the federation deprived the athletes of funding during the Russian championship, forcing them to seek their own meals and travel to competitions by public transport. In response to their appeal, the federation officials arranged a true massage paradise.
Revenge from officials and exclusion from the team
Condemning such disrespect, sports officials decided to exclude not only 40 players but also 6 coaches from the team. The official reason for their removal was the team's refusal to provide their personal data for future appointments.
Reaction of the international community and Olympic consequences
Goalball is a sport for visually impaired people where players rely on sound and touch. Involvement in propaganda activities with Putin conflicts with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee regarding neutral athletes.

It turns out that the sports world is not without scandals and internal conflicts. The exclusion of players from the team due to an intimate massage salon may serve as a significant lesson for all participants in sports competitions about the importance of integrity and professionalism.
