MOSCOW, Mar 29, Alexander Sergeev. Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasiliev stated that the decision to suspend the membership of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) in the International Biathlon Union (IBU) was expected. On Tuesday, the IBU Executive Board suspended the membership of the RBU and the Belarusian Biathlon Federation in the organization with immediate effect. solution. This was already announced a long time ago, so there was a formal procedure. Nothing new has happened, lawlessness continues. This is commonplace in the West. All the laws that were written by the so-called international law are completely violated. It's the same with SBR. I have only one question: when everything returns to normal, how will they justify themselves? Uncomfortable questions will be asked: on what article, point did those people who made this decision rely? Where is such a clause in the IBU constitution? Such a clause does not exist", Vasiliev said.
