Zhambolat Lokyaev, a Russian Greco-Roman wrestler, is currently facing significant backlash and condemnation for his contract with the Central Sport Club of the Army, an organization closely linked to Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. This revelation of his involvement with a military-affiliated club has sparked widespread international outrage.

The global sports community is united in its rejection of athletes being connected to organizations involved in war, and many are demanding his disqualification from international competitions. This incident underscores the urgent need to uphold the principles of fair play, peace, and unity in sports, and to prevent sports from being misused for political or military purposes, especially during times of war.
