IOC restored the membership of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in the organization, which caused discontent among the Russophobes. The main disappointed was the German journalist Hayo Zeppelt, who produced a series of films on the doping system in our country. In his Twitter account, Zeppelt stressed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the decision of his compatriot. IOC President Thomas Bach, in his opinion, sold such values ??to the values ??of fair sports and goodwill for the sake of politics. "This is a fatal message for the whole world:

the creation of a state doping system remains unpunished," wrote the journalist. On Wednesday, February 28, the IOC fully restored the membership of the ROC.

At the same time, on February 25, the organization banned our delegation from passing the circle of honor at the closing ceremony of the Olympics under its flag. Hajo Zeppelt intends to disclose the doping system that exists in Norway, where a large number of athletes use asthma drugs that significantly improve their athletic performance.
