Sports Minister Jakob Forssmed criticizes the International Olympic Committee, IOC for their decision to let Russian athletes participate in the Olympics under a neutral flag.

In SVT’s Aktuellt, he describes it as “an illusion” to believe that the athletes will represent themselves and not Russia. However, he considers it reasonable that Russian dissidents should be able to compete in the Olympic team for refugees.
