The suspension of the Russian team from participating in the 2018 Olympics was very encouraging to its gloating rivals.

"A good day for world sports and athletes around the world" - unable to hide the overwhelming emotions, said in an interview with Spiegel TV president of the German Olympic Sports Union Alphonse Hormann. Although the IOC did not close the doors to Pyeongchang for Russian athletes completely, but did not stand on ceremony either. This "demonstrative speech" of the International Committee. According to the sports functionary, thereby he gave a signal to all who violate the existing rules of the game. At the same time, Hormann claimed that Russia, nevertheless, should remain a part of world sports. But the punishment that the vice-premier of Russia Vitaly Mutko received, the president of the German Olympic Sports Union considers insufficient. It's not enough for him that the vice-president of the Russian government has been banned forever from attending the Olympics, Hormann believes that the persecution of the Russian official should be continued by FIFA. As a chairman of the Russia-2018 Organizing Committee and president of the Russian Football Union, he casts a shadow not only on his country , but also to the international association of football.

In this regard, he calls on the "effective and neutral" FIFA Ethics Committee to answer the question:.

"Can I continue to put up with Mutko's presence in this post?" For himself, Alfons Hormann seems to have already decided and is clearly not in favor of the Russian vice-premier, who refuses to hold any leading positions in the sport. Decisive action president of the German Olympic Sports Union expects from FIFA. So it can be expected that the indicative flogging of Vitaly Mutko will be continued.
