Former Russian football player Vladimir Bystrov, who took over the head of Lokomotiv volleyball club Andrey Voronkov, was suspended for 2 years.

We will remind you, today it was reported that Voronkov was suspended from work for making a racist statement against Cuban volleyball player Ailama Sese Montalvo.

“I agree with the view that a person cannot be called a racist just for one of his statements. It is a question of who is talking about during the match. “It’s more expensive to make excuses and say something in the media until you are officially punished,” said Bystrov on the Match TV channel.
