Ukrainian racer Vladyslav Heraskevych says he is prepared to be kicked out of the Winter Olympics for wearing a banned helmet featuring images of athletes killed during the Russian war – insisting he will not betray those who have lost their lives.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) reiterated the skeleton helmet contravenes rule 50 the Olympic Charter and made a last-gasp plea for him to take it off on Wednesday morning or rules “will be enforced.”
