MOSCOW, 16 Mar. Deputy, former world heavyweight boxing champion Nikolai Valuev spoke about the possible change of citizenship by Russian athletes. In a conversation with a Sport24 correspondent, the politician noted that Russians are unlikely to start receiving passports of other states en masse. «In my opinion, a mass change there will be no citizenship for Russian athletes against the background of suspensions from international competitions. It seems to me that the athletes of the national team will not do this, despite illegal sanctions,» he said.
