Two-time Olympic champion Dmitry Vasiliev was outraged by the words of Swedish biathlete Sebastian Saluelsson, who doubted the existence of “neutral Russian athletes”. An ardent Z-patriot accused the representative of the Scandinavian country of politicizing sports and called for his removal from competitions.

Vasiliev stated this in an interview with the VseProSport portal.. The henchman of the dictatorial regime of Vladimir Putin added that Samuelsson has no right to criticize the Russians, and also, with overt chauvinism characteristic of representatives of the Russian Federation, called the Swede a misunderstanding.

" Somehow I don’t remember his statements regarding doping scandals in various countries, including America. But he only speaks out about Russia. Instead of playing sports and not getting involved in politics, he says something incomprehensible. Such people should generally be removed from sports activities, because they violate the fundamental principles of Olympism that. This is some kind of misunderstanding called Samuelsson. Let him yap while he has the opportunity,” Vasiliev said..

Note that the reaction of the Swedish biathlete is due to the fact that the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS) ordered the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) to admit Russians in the so-called neutral status.
