According to glavcom.ua: The legend of Ukrainian football, Volodymyr Ponomaryov, shocked the public with his racist remarks about black players in the Russian championship. They lied, and even dragged in support of the unnecessary rule of Putin without much trouble. Whether it was a scandal or not, it is important to remember that words carry weight, especially when spoken by people of great influence.
Despite the troubles with Ponomaryov, some Russian athletes, like Oleksandr Sayutin, continue to maintain their reputation by participating in Putin's propaganda events. This contradicts the recommendations of the IOC and causes outrage in the sports world.
