The IBU has extended the suspension of the membership of the Russian Biathlon Union in the organization until certain conditions are met

The Congress of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) has extended the suspension of membership of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) and the Belarusian Biathlon Federation (BFB) in the organization until certain conditions are met. This was announced on Friday by the press service of the IBU.

The decision was adopted by a majority of votes: 40 – in favor, 1 – against, 4 – abstained, 1 vote is invalid.

“The IBU Congress accepted the executive committee’s proposal to suspend the activities of the Russian and Belarusian federations until they demonstrate their full commitment to supporting and advancing the goals and principles of the IBU,” the statement said.

Earlier on Friday, the IBU Congress decided to uphold the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from international tournaments until further notice.

In February, the IBU banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in international competitions with national symbols, after which the Russian team withdrew from the remaining stages of the World Cup and the IBU Cup. Later, the IBU completely removed the Russians and Belarusians from their competitions due to the situation in Ukraine, and also suspended the membership of the RRF and the BSE.

    – He doesn’t even say hello! How will he give me the phone number? He doesn’t say hello to anyone at all. I don’t deserve it. So I went to one Olympics with him.
