MOSCOW (Reuters) – The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to ban Russia’s athletes from the opening parade of the Paris Olympics in July does not paint the IOC in a good light, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

Peskov called it a violation of the athletes’ interests that ran against the entire ideology of the Olympics.
