NGO 'Sports Context' proposes creating evidence registry to remove Russia from international sport
The NGO Sports Context is initiating the creation of a coordination and advisory center on its base for systematic legal action against Russia's institutional presence in international sports federations.
The NGO Sports Context has announced plans to establish a coordination and advisory center aimed at combating Russia's institutional involvement in international sports. The center will serve to safeguard the interests of both Ukrainian and global sports. According to Oleksandr Larin, the center's chairman, it will not duplicate the efforts of Ukraine's National Olympic Committee or existing sports federations.
Instead, its primary objective is to assist national federations in exercising their rights within international sports organizations.
Larin stated this during a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine, where he read a statement to the country's sports community. The center's main duties will include gathering and verifying evidence of Russian actions in occupied territories, examining statutes and pinpointing any violated norms. Additionally, it will aid in preparing appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
