Skier Darya Dolidovich has fled Belarus after being barred from competing in the Winter Olympics over accusations regarding her involvement with the country's opposition movement
Skier Darya Dolidovich has fled Belarus after being barred from competing in the Winter Olympics over accusations regarding her involvement with the country's opposition movement.
The 17-year-old cross-country skier was stripped of her International Ski Federation code -- which is required for athletes to compete in events run by the governing body -- back in December. It followed a decision from the Belarus Cross-Country Skiing Federation, according to Reuters. Dolidovich told Reuters in December that the ban -- which precluded her from competing in the Beijing Winter Games -- came after sports officials accused her of"supporting" the country's opposition.
