Dear readers of Dragon Boat Net,
the incomprehensible, military aggression of the Russian government supported by Belarus against the Ukraine is not only bringing a brutal war and criminal inhumanity to the country, it also triggers impacts to the entire world in many ways. Disregarding the Olympic Truce the Ukraine was attacked! This finally led the IOC to ban all athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus to participate in sport events worldwide. The IOC strongly recommends Sport Federations to follow the sanction.
(For more details please read: IOC ban on Russia and Belarus)
In compliance with the IOC the IDBF excludes athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus from the 13th IDBF CCWC as an immediate effect.

In strong support to our friends and the people in Ukraine, who’s life is threatened, I post the below picture of the Ukraine Dragon Boat Team which participated 2018 in Brandenburg / Germany.
