MOSCOW, March 29 Sports journalist Vasily Utkin sharply reacted to the sanctions of the International Union biathlonists (IBU) to the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU). On Tuesday, the IBU executive committee suspended the membership of the RBU and the Belarusian Biathlon Federation in the organization with immediate effect against the background of the aggravation of Russian-Ukrainian relations.
"On the exclusion of the IBU of our biathletes. I do not quite agree with the rhetoric of Guberniev's colleague, however, he is immeasurably deeper in the subject and has every right, including a higher note of emotions. But the decision is, of course, disgusting. Because the first. More than six months before the first biathlon start. So where are you in a hurry? "I was taught that way… Everyone was taught. But why did you turn out to be the first student, you kind of cattle?" That's what is called hysteria", — Utkin wrote in his Telegram channel.
The international biathlon season traditionally starts at the end of November.
