RUSSIAN SPORTS MINISTER CONTINUES: RELAX AND RESPECT OUR LAWS

Russian sports Minister Vitali Mutko has once again weighed in on the controversy surrounding the country's anti-gay 'propaganda' law and its impacts on next year's Sochi 2014 winter Olympic games. The minister tried to quash concerns by saying that athletes need to 'relax' because their 'private lives will still be respected' but at the same time made it clear that the anti-gay law will be enforced during the games. Along with Mutko, IAAF president (who is from the anti-gay African country of Senegal) also lectured athletes into respecting Russia's anti-gay laws and stated that the winter Olympic games should be free of politics. The vice-president of the International Olympics Committee also concurs that the anti-gay law will not a be a problem even though some Russian officials have stated that they will arrest gay athletes if they break the law.
