Olympic Games
Accreditation withdrawn: Four Russians kicked out
The French authorities have revoked the Olympic accreditation of four Russian journalists. The organizing committee has so far remained silent about the reasons for this. Meanwhile, the action has been met with derision from Russia.
The Russian quartet reportedly consisted of journalists and photographers. As reported by Bild, one of the journalists was seen at the opening ceremony. His colleagues had also been out and about in halls and stadiums. However, their accreditation for the Olympic Games has now been revoked by the French authorities.
The organizing committee has so far refused to comment on the reasons for this. However, according to leaks from the organizers, it was due to concerns regarding the security check.
Russia reacts with a full broadside
Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident. In addition, they fired a broadside at the organizers: "At least you won't be bitten by rats anymore. You won't catch an intestinal disease in the Seine either."
