Suddenly. The organizers of the British Wimbledon were fined $ 1 million for not allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to the tournament.
The fine was issued by the World Women's Tennis Association, writes the Daily Mail.
At the same time, the British Culture Minister categorically disagrees with this and believes that the organizers of the tournament should, on the contrary, be praised — for "condemning Russian aggression."
The All England club, which manages Wimbledon, also reacted angrily and intends to appeal.
