They have been almost universally banned since the invasion began shortly after the 2022 Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Romanchuk wrote, &#8220;Sport is not politics?&#8221; while tagging the accounts of the Olympics, World Aquatics and LEN, the European swimming governing body.<\/p>\n<p>World Aquatics recently announced plans to review eligibility of Russian and Belarussian swimmers to return in time for the Paris Olympics as &#8220;neutral athletes,&#8221; but Romanchuk shows here the inherent politicization of sport as his ability to train would be severely hampered if he had not left his home country.<\/p>\n<p>Romanchuk first stated his position against Russian athlete inclusion after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-florian-wellbrock-invited-romanchuk-to-join-training-group-after-invasion-of-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winning World Championships bronze in the 800 freestyle in 2022<\/a>, specifically calling out backstroke Olympic champion <strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fina-announces-nine-month-suspension-for-evgeny-rylov-for-rally-appearance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who appeared at a Vladimir Putin rally<\/a> wearing the\u00a0<span data-reactid=\".ml1oscua54.0.0.0.1.$paragraph-3.0\">pro-war symbol of the letter \u2018Z\u2019 on his clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If someone says sport is not politics, sport is the biggest politics,&#8221; Romanchuk said. &#8220;This is the right decision that the Russians are not here because if I saw some of the Russian guys, I don\u2019t know how I will react to them. I don\u2019t know: my reaction, maybe it would be aggressive, I don\u2019t know, especially when the backstroke guy (<strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong>)\u00a0joined the (Putin rally). Inside of me I was ready to go and to kill him. Before, he was a good friend but everything changed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Less than two months later, Romanchuk <a
