Russian Sports Minister and Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev said that the ROC is a full member of the Olympic movement after the restoration of the IOC. Sport Express reports this.
“The Olympic Committee has been restored. The word “temporary” should not confuse anyone, because it does not exist in legal practice and the Olympic Charter. We are full members of the Olympic movement. We have been reinstated, and all sanctions have been recommended to be lifted. This decision has been made and is not subject to revision,” Degtyarev said at the forum “Gambling: contributions to sports.”
