First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Youth and Sports Zhan Beleniuk commented on the scandal involving the fight between Mynai and Shinnik players in a Turkish hotel.
"A fight broke out between Ukrainian and Russian footballers at a training camp in Turkey. Such situations show what problems may arise if the IOC decides to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in international competitions. Representatives of a terrorist country have no place in the international sports arena!" the MP wrote on Telegram.
