In a recent controversy surrounding the Olympics, Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevytj was disqualified by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for wearing a helmet emblazoned with images of 24 deceased Ukrainian athletes and coaches who lost their lives in the war against Russia. The IOC argued that such displays are considered a political statement, which is against the Olympic spirit, leading to Heraskevytj's disqualification. The athlete responded by stating that the decision 'plays into the hands of Russia.' Following this incident, Ukraine's appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) resulted in a rejection of their challenge against the disqualification, as reported by The Guardian.
