Alexander GovorovCorrespondent SportAll materialsDakar Champion — 2017 Sergey Karyakin will not be able to take part in the most prestigious international rally-raid if he does not sign a paper condemning Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. The hypocrisy of the West crosses all boundaries. Biathlon, auto racing — what's next? We are already used to the suspension of Russian athletes. However, the conditions under which our athletes can be admitted to international starts have been revealed. Moreover, the hypocrisy of these demands is simply off scale. Take at least biathlon. The International Biathlon Union (IBU) demanded that the Russians completely disengage from the actions of the army. And this despite the fact that the IBU is well aware of the connections of athletes with military structures. Many foreign biathletes are in the same situation. However, for some reason they are not forced to renounce it. Apparently, a similar fate can await the Russians in all sports. It's motorsport's turn.
