One of the Belarusian heroes of the 2018 Winter Paralympics has lamented the decision to ban him from competing this time around in Beijing.
Yury Holub, a visually impaired athlete, won gold, two silvers, and a bronze over four cross-country skiing and biathlon events in Pyeongchang four years ago.
The 25-year-old was due to compete again in China, albeit under a neutral banner after the International Paralympic Committee [IPC] ruled that no competitors from Russia or Belarus could represent their own countries.
