Belarusian Greco-Roman wrestler Kiryl Maskevich is facing scrutiny for his association with a national security agency. Maskevich is contracted with the club "Dynamo," which is affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, a connection that links him to defense structures during Russia's brutal war against Ukraine.

The revelation of Maskevich's ties to the national security agency has raised concerns about the intertwining of sports and military involvement. Critics argue that such affiliations can potentially compromise the spirit of fair play and neutrality that international sporting events are meant to uphold. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the appropriate roles and affiliations of athletes in times of war.
