Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev has blown up at a reporter who asked him whether the Russian Olympic Committee team carried a stigma of being cheats.
Medvedev had just beaten Italy's Fabio Fognini in sweltering conditions at the Tokyo Games when he was asked the pointed question, with Russia unable to compete as a nation at the Olympics due to revelations of a state-sponsored doping program. "Are the Russian Olympic team athletes carrying a stigma of cheaters in these Games after the scandal and how do you feel about it?" a reporter asked, on the final question of his English press conference."That's the first time in my life I'm not gonna answer a question, man. And you should be embarrassed of yourself," he said.
He then turned to the press officer and said: "I think you should [remove] him from either the Olympic Games, either the tennis tournament.The journalist attempted to explain himself but Medvedev began to walk off and said: "That's the first time in my life ... So you should be embarrassed."
