MOSCOW, March 14 Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasilyev harshly criticized the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach. «After Bach initiated the suspension of Russian athletes in all sports, common sense is already completely lost. If the head of the organization, which should call for peace, to the fact that sport is out of politics, drags him in politics, then he is the main criminal. Officially, I say: Thomas Bach is a criminal, «Match TV quotes Vasilyev. Earlier, the IOC recommended that international sports federations ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in competitions due to the conflict in Ukraine. Many federations followed the recommendations and suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from the competition.
