    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2021 SPORTS 15 Klinsmann hurt, dropped from Oly qualifying IOC denounces Belarus Olympic election of Lukashenko’s son LAUSANNE, Switzerland, March 9, (AP): The IOC has refused to recognize the election of Belarus President Alex- ander Lukashenko’s son as the troubled country’s top Olympic offi cial. Viktor Lukashenko was voted in last month to take over from his father as president of the Belarusian Olympic committee despite both being suspend- ed by the IOC in December. The International Olympic Com- mittee fi rst intervened in fallout from widespread protests and a violent state crackdown since Alexander Lukashen- ko was re-elected president last Au- gust in a disputed poll widely seen as rigged. Belarus Olym- pic leadership, in- cluding father and son as president and vice president, had “not appropri- ately protected the Lukashenko Belarusian ath- letes from politi- cal discrimination within the NOC, their member federations or the sports move- ment,” the IOC said in December. The election meeting two weeks ago “failed to fully address” those con- cerns, the IOC said on Monday. Both Lukashenkos are suspended from attending the Tokyo Olympics which open in July. Viktor Lukashen- ko, who advises his father on national security, is also banned from travel in the European Union. A third Belarusian sports offi cial, Dmitry Baskov, is also suspended by the IOC after being linked to the death of a political activist. OLYMPICS The IOC said it also refused to rec- ognize the election of Baskov, head of the national ice hockey federation, to the Belarusian Olympic body’s board.
