MOSCOW, August 12, Pavel Levkovich. State Duma Vice Speaker Sergei Neverov said that no one supported Roman Teryushkov's initiative to equate the change of sports citizenship with an act of high treason. Earlier, Roman Teryushkov, a member of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, expressed the opinion in his Telegram channel that the change of sports citizenship by an athlete of the national team should be equated to an act treason.» I did not communicate with Teryushkov about this initiative. I read about it and I know that it is not massively supported. Yes, and I do not support the change of citizenship, even sports, to get a result, but this is everyone's choice. Another thing, that if this happened when you finish your sports career, do not change it completely.Stay there then, relatively speaking.Consider this person a traitor or a traitor — I do not think that this right. We should not follow the path that Estonia or Latvia is now proclaiming. A person has chosen such a path, let him choose,» Neverov said.
