If the IOC said she can fight, I respect that decision"; deplores what it sees as the widespread disinformation and misinformation concerning the eligibility of the two women to compete in the Olympic Games, and asserts that elected parliamentarians, public figures and the media have a responsibility to counter any disinformation and misinformation that could lead to the safety of female athletes being compromised."
