The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) announced on Wednesday that it is unable to resolve or explain the decision by Dutch authorities to deny visas to three Russian athletes attempting to participate in the upcoming Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in the Netherlands.
The visa denials prevent the affected Russian competitors from attending the international tournament. Despite its role as the governing body, the FIG stated it has no control over or explanation for the immigration and visa decisions made by the Netherlands government regarding the athletes.
