Legitimately elected President of Belarus Svetlana Tikhanovskaya stands for "exclusion of pro-government teams" of the country from international competitions until "big changes" take place in Minsk, writes Politico.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya - I am for the exclusion of pro-government teams until the overthrow of dictator Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk. I understand that sport should be out of politics,” she said. - But now everything is politics, and we know cases when athletes are detained and tortured. Visiting civilized countries and at the same time representing a terrorist regime is terrible.
