Russian tennis players may be required to denounce Vladimir Putin to be allowed to compete at Wimbledon, MPs have been told.
Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston said that "nobody flying the flag for Russia should be allowed" to play but suggested that some players could be considered if they weren't supportive of the Kremlin.
Talks are being held with the All England Lawn Tennis Club over how to proceed on the issue, he told the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
