Danila Burlakov, a Russian cyclist, is facing strong condemnation and calls for action after it was revealed that he has contracted with the national security club "Dynamo," an organization linked to Russia's military structures involved in the ongoing war against Ukraine.

The international sports community is united in denouncing any association of athletes with entities connected to armed conflicts. The principles of sports, centered around promoting peace, solidarity, and fair competition, must be upheld, and any attempts to exploit sports for political or military purposes are vehemently opposed.

Burlakov's affiliation with a security club involved in a brutal war raises serious ethical concerns, highlighting the need for swift and decisive measures to ensure accountability and preserve the integrity of international sports competitions.
