Zugzwang : Polish draughts official apologises after removing Russian flag | WSAU News/Talk 550 AM · 99 9 FM

By Syndicated Content By Joanna Plucinska and Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber WARSAW/MOSCOW (Reuters) – A Polish draughts official apologised on Wednesday for causing outrage in Moscow by removing the Russian flag from a player’s table during a world title match, but said he’d had little choice. Match official Jacek Pawlicki removed the flag as Russia’s Tamara Tansykkuzhina played Poland’s Natalia Sadowska in the Womens World Championship in Warsaw on Tuesday. Tansykkuzhina, a six-time world champion, went on to lose what was the latest round of the final. Organisers said they had been told to remove the flag immediately by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) because Russians are barred under doping sanctions from competing under their national flag at major international events.
