MOSCOW, May 3rd. Four-time world champion Norwegian Emil Iversen spoke negatively about the photograph of the Russian Alexei Chervotkin in military uniform. According to the athlete, such pictures add a political color to the sport.
"A few days ago, a photo of Chervotkin in uniform appeared. I think it looks creepy. The picture doesn't look cool at all. Perhaps it would have been perceived differently a few years ago. They say that there is nothing in common between sports and politics, but this suggests the opposite", — TV2 quotes the words of the athlete.
