Estonia joins Canada in banning Russian and Belarusian athletes

Estonia's government announced it will not issue visas to athletes from Russia or Belarus, joining Norway, Finland and Canada in restricting their participation in sports events because of the war in Ukraine. Earlier, Canada said it would deny entry to Russian and Belarusian hockey players for the World Junior Championship in Alberta, even if they possessed valid visas, according to the Secretary of State for Sport. Russian Ice Hockey Federation chief Vladislav Tretiak warned that Russia would seek compensation and could push for relocating or cancelling the tournament in response to the Canadian ban.
