And while society was rightly outraged by their names on the list, the newly elected president Vadym Guttsait brought a truly «golden» team to the NOC, 80% of whom have nothing to do with sports. Unless you consider corruption, the fight for a place in the OPFL list, or racketeering in the ’90s as sports.
Of course, sports are not relevant right now, but is it the right time to drag all the disgraced and discredited people into leadership positions?! If the OPFL party is banned, then why are its former members still allowed to stick their noses into power, be it political or sports?!
