WARSAW/MOSCOW (Reuters) â A Polish draughts official apologised on Wednesday for causing outrage in Moscow by removing the Russian flag from a playerâs table during a world title match, but said heâd had little choice.
Match official Jacek Pawlicki removed the flag as Russiaâs Tamara Tansykkuzhina played Polandâs 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.
