The Iran Project : Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamanei has deplored "double standards" employed by the countries ruling over international sports federations, saying that the flawed policies were starkly evident during the recently concluded 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in the French capital Paris.

According to The Iran Project, Ayatollah Khamanei made the remarks on Tuesday in a meeting with a group of Iranian medalists, athletes, coaches and organizers of Iranian sports delegations to the international multi-sport events.

“One thing which was strongly noticeable this year at the Olympic Games was the dual policies of the countries regulating international sports matters. They really showed that double standards and biased policies govern their behaviors,” the Leader pointed out.

Ayatollah Khamenei added that certain countries banned a country because it had waged a war against another country, but they “refused to ban the Zionist regime from the Games despite the fact that it has killed thousands of children and massacred over 41,000 people in nearly a year,” lambasting such double standards as heavily biased.

 “This is what we have long been saying. Some people tend to refer to our words as exaggeration. It is no exaggeration. They assert that sports should not be politicized. This is while they take and exhibit the most politicized actions in the field of sports,” the Leader noted.
