Tokyo: The organizing committee of the Olympic Games in Tokyo launched an investigation against a Chilean reporter who acted in a provocative manner against Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Medvedev overpowered Italy’s Fabio Fognini in the third-round match. After the match, a Chilean reporter made a claim about Russian athletes “cheating,” when he was speaking to Medvedev, and asked the latter how he was feeling with this “stigma.”
Medvedev refused to answer the question and called on the International Tennis Federation to ban this reporter from being present at competitions.
