Dutch officials accused of hiding Russian gymnasts' passports
Original: спортивная гимнастика
Russian media report that Dutch officials are allegedly hiding the passports of Russian gymnasts to block them from competing, in what the report calls a 'visa sabotage'. The claims concern artistic gymnastics athletes from Russia whose participation in international events remains restricted amid ongoing sanctions and exclusion of Russian athletes from many federations. The story has drawn attention in Russia, feeding wider debate over whether Russian athletes are being unfairly barred from returning to world sport.
Why now: Fresh accusations of visa obstruction against Russian gymnasts have renewed debate about the exclusion of Russian athletes from international competition.
