KYIV - Ukraine on Oct 1 blasted a top International Olympic Committee (IOC) figure for suggesting Russia could be quickly readmitted to the organization if it starts obeying the rules.

IOC vice-president Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr said last week that Russia was in "clear and flagrant breach of the Olympic Charter", but added: "The minute the reasons for suspension and non-recognition disappear, we have the obligation to start working very hard to bring them back."

Ukrainian Sports Minister Matviy Bidnyi told AFP the "entire Ukrainian sports community was very surprised, very outraged" by the comments.
