Russia out from the Eurobasket?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Roy M2

They were not thrown out of Eurobasket, just their federation was banned by FIBA for now and Russians will have to fix internal problems. If they'll do it in time, they'll play
 
I guess there no way Fiba really cancel their participation but it's interesting question what to do if they would. What team would play instead of them? It would be totally wrong to play with 23 teams. I'm not going to travel to France anyway but I'd pissed if there only 4 games instead of 5.
 
Funny how FIBA was waiting until u19 women world cup was over . It didn't bother them then ,and now suddenly they are suspending Russian basketball federation, Fiba is a joke.

You dont really think they will be out, do you?

Russia will play at eurobasket, this hebrew article is a joke and only based on a "report on russian site". The reporter didnt even mentioned what are the problems.

The desicion is not final and the origin article in russia says the final decision will be at 7-9.8.2015
 
Don't worry, Russia will play Eurobasket. They are about to elect Andrej Kirilenko as president of the federation and everything will be fine ...

FIBA uses the recent chaos in the Russian federation to demonstrate some strength.
 
Russian U16 NT is out from the EC in Lithuania that begins in August 6th...It's pitty when kids suffer.

Absolutely idiotic situation. The current leadership loves money too much, and now when it is clear that the new President of RFB(or a new organization instead of this) will be Kirilenko, Anikeeva unwilling to give up, she's a Chernov's puppet, this mafia herself complained in FIBA, for that Federation and national teams disqualified, and blackmailed the country's sports leadership. In Soviet times these characters Anikeeva and Chernova'd be shot as traitors to the Motherland! I hope no one is giving up and it all goes to the end, you cannot compromise with crooks, they belong in jail. Let the senior team will miss Euro 15, only to a normal person finally stood at the helm of the Russian basketball in Russia 99% of basketball fans are sick of the current leadership! there is in Russia a good proverb: better a horrible end than horror without end
 
Anikeeva is doing some massive job in ruining Russian basketball.
 
FIBA just decided, not to lift the sanctions against Russia, but to allow the Russian national teams to play in the coming events. This means, thtas Russia will play in Eurobasket 2015.
 
FIBA has lifted a ban on Russia's national team. They will play in Eurobasket 2015.
