The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has refused to grant Lala Kramarenko neutral athlete status.
Idman.biz reports that R-Sport stated that the European rhythmic gymnastics champion received a "no" answer for participating in a gala concert dedicated to "Defender of the Fatherland Day."
In addition, the MGFSO sports club, which the gymnast represents, has shown support for the war in Ukraine on social networks.
Kramarenko is also accused of publishing a photo with Irina Viner, the former head coach of the Russian national rhythmic gymnastics team.
The FIG decision can only be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). According to the source, Kramarenko has appealed to CAS.
In April, the Russian Gymnastics Federation announced that athletes who had already received neutral status had decided to refuse to participate in the upcoming tournaments held by the international federation due to their colleagues receiving refusals regarding this status.
It should be noted that Lala is the daughter of former Azerbaijani national football team goalkeeper Dmitri Kramarenko.
