Vladimir Putin's government is taking every opportunity afforded by the @iocmedia decision to lift sanctions on Russia. The Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev is wasting no chance to make it look like he and the @Olympics are working together to restore Russia to the top table of international sport. In this special *public* edition of the #ZeusFiles, we examine how the IOC became 'useful idiots' for Russia duncanmackayveritas.substack…

Why an application process? Just pay the athletes. Hearing that some National Olympic Committees and International Federations are not happy with this decision. Maybe that’s the point. This money is for the athletes. @iocmedia @Olympics @Athlete365
Did you compete at Milano-Cortina 2026? 🏅 You are eligible for a $10,000 grant from the IOC—promised to open by the year's end. But since the announcement, athletes haven’t received any information on the application process or delivery timeline. We're tracking this closely to ensure Olympians receive what they were promised. Follow the link to stay informed as this develops.👇 globalathlete.org/ioc-fit-fo… @iocmedia @olympics @athlete365

“Heraskevych said policymakers need to abandon what he called the mistaken assumption that sport can be separated from politics. Many people "believe that sport is out of politics," he said. "But Russian sport is being used in propaganda." He pointed to Russian athletes' participation in political events, support for President Vladimir Putin's ruling political establishment, and activities connected to Russia's war effort against Ukraine. Heraskevych also cited what he described as Russian athletes' involvement in events linked to Ukrainian children who were forcibly taken to Russia and their participation in military-related activities.” @ralexdc @heraskevych @RFERL rferl.org/a/ukraine-heraskev…

🚨 NEW INVESTIGATION: Russian sport didn't reform—it went further underground. The Christo Files reveal the FSB's grip on Russian sport & anti-doping may be deeper than ever, including alleged ties between RUSADA's Director General and an FSB colonel linked to the doping system exposed by McLaren a decade ago. The system didn't disappear. It adapted. If nothing fundamentally changed, why is Russia being let back into the Olympic Movement?

This putin supporter should not have been allowed to compete at all. The very fact of her participation is already a failure of international sport and assistance to the war that russia unleashed. And this russian athlete is yet another excellent example of the fact that sport in russia has never been “neutral.”
🇷🇺 Russian athlete Angelina Melnikova celebrates with no Russian flag and no national anthem despite claiming gold at the European Gymnastics Championships. Only neutral music and the World Gymnastics flag is allowed for every Russian and Belarusian athlete at the event. @europa

@Visa “Everywhere You Want To Be”? The IOC just greenlit Russia’s return to the Olympics despite the war in Ukraine and FSB involvement in anti-doping cover-ups. 💵 Your partnership funds this impunity. Is this really “everywhere you want to be"? @iocmedia @Olympics

While more sanctions are being imposed on Russia, including on its Sports Minister, the @iocmedia, under its new President, thought it was a good idea to bring Russia back into the Olympic Movement. Mind-boggling and out of touch. @Olympics
