Røste kritiserer IOC-avgjørelse: – Mitt standpunkt er ikke endret

Det sier han i et intervju med Adresseavisen.

Det ble fredag klart at Den internasjonale olympiske komité åpner for russisk og belarusisk deltakelse i Paris-OL under nøytralt flagg.

– I over et år og 9 måneder har vi vært vitne til et brutalt angrep på Ukraina og det ukrainske folk. Det er et helt meningsløst angrep på menneskeretten. Mitt standpunkt er ikke endret. Idretten kan ikke stille seg på utsiden av det. Det er ikke mulig å frikoble idrett fra politikk, selv om idretten skal være nøytral. Jeg mener at idretten må ta et samfunnsansvar ut over oss selv, sier Røste til avisen.

Russland og Belarus er stadig utestengt fra skiidretten. For noen måneder ble det gitt grønt til at utøvere fra både Russland og Belarus kunne delta i Paralympics som nøytrale utøvere med visse begrensninger.

– Jeg er ikke overrasket over IOC sin beslutning, men svært skuffet, sier Røste.
