Lavrov Says CAS banning Russian top officials from Attending Sports Events ‘Unacceptable’

Moscow, Dec 27 (Sputnik) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the recent decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to prohibit Russian top government officials from attending international sports events is unacceptable.
"Regulating the behavior of viewers and the opportunity for them to have national symbols - this also distinguishes, as I understand it, this decision from what was before. What’s unclear and, I think, unacceptable is the provision concerning the prohibition of the heads of state to attend sports competitions. But there are glimmers of decency, where it is said that unless the head of state or government, where the competition is taking place, sends a personal invitation," Lavrov said live on Russia's Match TV on Saturday.
Earlier this month, the CAS adopted sanctions against Russia's top government officials, barring them from attending international sports events for two years. Vladimir Dzhabarov, a senior Russian lawmaker, told Sputnik that this decision would be challenged.
