Putin noticed signs of degeneration of international sport

Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Physical Education and Sports, said that as of today, international sport is highly commercialized and depends on business and state authorities, which indicates its “degeneration.”

According to the Russian leader, what is happening in modern international sports organizations indicates the “degeneration” of sports. The head of state noted that international sport today is very commercialized, which means it is very dependent on business, and business, in turn, depends on the authorities at various levels and political structures of different countries.

This, according to Putin, is the signs of “degeneration.”
