The Swiss company has found a way to remove Russian skiers from the competition

MOSCOW, March 1. The main sponsor of the World Cup in cross-country skiing has found an original way to force Russian athletes to withdraw from the tournament, writes the Norwegian edition VG. The management of the Swiss company Coop plans to paint its logo in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. «We must do everything in our power. Removing the logo, leaving just a white background, would have no effect and we hope that this will be enough to ensure that the Russians do not start with such numbers if the FIS does not remove them from the competition, «a company representative said in a statement.
