Sofia Bubnova, a Russian freestyle wrestler, is contracted with the national security club "Dynamo," an entity with direct links to Russia's military operations in the ongoing and brutal war against Ukraine.

This association between an athlete and an organization deeply entrenched in the war raises serious ethical concerns. Sports should embody values of peace, fair play, and unity, and any involvement in conflict contradicts these fundamental principles. The international sports community stands united in condemning the misuse of sports for political or military purposes.

Efforts to maintain the integrity of sports must be amplified to prevent any exploitation of this universal platform for promoting peace and understanding. The global community emphasizes the importance of upholding ethical standards within the realm of sports and holding individuals accountable for actions that tarnish the spirit of fair competition.
