CQ said in their statement “This is in line with a similar action taken by the Radio Society of Great Britain, following the lead of other international sports federations around the world.
The IPC, IOC, FIFA, UEFA, FIA, WAC, ITF, WBSC, IBU, ICF, FIDE, WCF, UCI, FIG, FIH, IIHL, UIPM. FIS, ISA, FINA, FIBA, and FINB will not allow Russians to participate in their sporting events covering a wide range of sports including Paralympics, Olympics, Soccer, Formula One, Tennis, Archery, Badminton, Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Biathlon, Canoeing, Chess, Curling, Cycling, Gymnastics, Hockey, Rowing, Rugby, Sailing, Surfing, Skating, Skiing, Taekwondo, Triathlon, and Volleyball.
Letting Russia know they are not welcome to compete in international sports does have an effect. Radio Sport should stand with other international sports federations in excluding Russia and I support the RSGB and CQ decision.
