RBU President aiming to regain full IBU membership status by end of 2022 Tuesday, 16 February 2021
Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) President Viktor Maigurov has claimed the organisation has spent more than €1 million (£872,000/$1.21 million) over the past two years in a bid to regain full membership within the International Biathlon Union (IBU) by the end of 2022.
The RBU was relegated to provisional membership in December 2017 in response to the Russian doping scandal at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics and was required to meet 12 conditions for reinstatement.
Speaking to Russia s official state news agency
TASS, Maigurov said he expected to regain full membership by the end of next year when the IBU holds its Congress.
