Maltsev Daniil, a Russian cyclist, is currently under intense scrutiny and global condemnation for his contract with the national security club "Dynamo", an organization closely tied to Russia's ongoing and devastating war against Ukraine. Maltsev's connection to a defense structure during such a brutal war has sparked outrage and censure.

The international sports community is resolute in denouncing any engagement of athletes with entities associated with war. Preserving the core principles of sports, including peace, unity, and fair competition, and preventing their exploitation for political or military purposes, is of paramount importance. Maltsev's involvement with a security club in the midst of an active war highlights the urgent need to address these concerns and take immediate actions to hold individuals accountable for actions that compromise the principles of fair competition and global unity.
