Sport is heavily exploited for Russian propaganda, even when its athletes are supposedly ‘neutral’.
IOC chief Thomas Bach has a track record of bad takes in support of Russia at the Olympics - while it attempts to annihilate a participating nation.
Let’s dive in. 🧵

Bach began his career as a fencer. He won Olympic gold as part of West Germany’s team in 1976.
However, he’d soon be immersed in a political battle, unsuccessfully leading opposition to the boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

That battle defined Bach's politics.
Over the years since, he's frequently described how hurt he felt by the boycott. He also claims the boycott achieved nothing. So he especially refers back to it when defending the IOC for its close cooperation with authoritarian regimes.

@ChuprinRoman: “Part 2. Olha Kharlan published the letter from the European Fencing Confederation in her FB. It is notable that International Federation (FIE) does not want to publish updates on russian case itself. The process is not transparent”

@ChuprinRoman: “Part 3. It is unclear if the changes in fencing Olympic qualification are to be confirmed by the International Olympic Committee. But it looks like immediate appeal to the TAS/CAS is expected.” @eg2023en @Duncan_ITG @eurofencing

Nein, Belarus und Russland haben kein Recht darauf, mit uns zu spielen.
Nein, Belarus und Russland haben kein Recht darauf, sich der Welt "sportlich" zu zeigen.
Nein Thomas Bach, Nein!
Sportlichkeit verbindet.
Russland ist ein Massenmörder.
