MOSCOW, April 5, Andrey Senchenko. Russian seven-time world champion Tamara Tansykkuzhina said that she was excluded from the rating of the World Drafts Federation (FMJD) due to the support of a special operation in Ukraine. «Like all Russian athletes, I was suspended from participation in international tournaments. Personally, I was also excluded from the rating for an indefinite period. reason that I supported the Russian government and the conduct of the special operation in Ukraine. The decision of the international federation itself has not been formalized in any way. Everything happened on the initiative of the president of the organization (Pole) Jacek Pawlicki. This is an unprecedented step, since it is not regulated in any way by the charter of the federation,» she said Tansykkuzhin.» First, my rating was removed from all documents, and yesterday a letter was sent to our federation about my suspension. The actions have already been taken, but the official decision and formula there is no FMJD yet. I think Pavlitsky and his entourage could find support from professional athletes. Posts were published in various checkers communities on social networks, but they did not find proper support. After that, someone made a petition for my suspension, but about two hundred people signed it. In fact, they attracted completely strangers who have nothing to do with sports. Apparently, they did not achieve the necessary reaction and decided to arbitrarily remove me and exclude me from the ratings,» she added.
