The head of Russia's Olympic Committee on Friday accused the International Olympic Committee of picking sides after it urged sports federations to handle contests between Ukrainian athletes and Russians competing as neutrals with "sensitivity".
"The statement in question indicates that the IOC determined for itself and picked a side in the political conflict, began to act in the interests of this side," Stanislav Pozdnyakov said on Telegram.
Ukrainian fencer Olha Kharlan, who was controversially disqualified from the world championships for not shaking hands with a Russian opponent, defiantly insisted on Thursday: "We will never shake hands with them."
