Statement of the Sports Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran about the clerical regime’s scandal at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro

With the commencement of the Olympics, countries around the world sent their athletes with honor and respect and with all required facilities, to bring honor for their respective countries on the world stage. But in our plundered country Iran, where everything including sports has been destroyed by the inhuman mullahs, only a few athletes were able to participate in the competition in a limited number of venues at the Olympics.

According to received reports, the looters ruling our homeland, whose corruption and scandals in plundering the Iranian people’s assets bother everyone, have failed to provide minimum requirements for Iranian athletes. They even failed to provide the possibility for the dispatched volleyball team coach to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro to attend the opening ceremony. The captain and team members, in an honorable measure to protest this ugly and repulsive act by the regime, did not leave their coach alone and refused to participate in the opening ceremony.

The Sports Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran condemns the officials of the mullahs’ regime who have destroyed all spheres including in the field of sports and it calls on all athletes in our homeland to restore the values of sportsmanship and the spirit of the heroic national sport and to distance themselves from the anti-Iranian mullahs.
