National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Belarus (NOCRB) vice-president Dmitry Dovgalenok has claimed the International Olympic Committee (IOC) "listened only to the point of view of the opponents" when making the decision to ban officials from Tokyo 2020.
NOCRB head and Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko is among three senior officials to be banned from attending next year's postponed Olympic Games in Tokyo. 
His son and NOCRB vice-president Viktor Lukashenko and Belarusian Ice Hockey Association President and NOCRB Board member Dmitri Baskov - considered a suspect in an attack on artist Raman Bandarenka, who later died in hospital, during a peaceful protest in Belarus - have also been given the suspension.
