BEIJING : The coach of the Finnish men's ice hockey team accused China of not respecting a player's human rights on Sunday, saying that Marko Anttila was being kept in COVID-19 isolation for no reason.

When Anttila arrived in China he tested positive and was immediately taken to an isolation hotel where he is"not getting good food" and under tremendous mental stress. "We know that he's fully healthy and ready to go and that's why we think that China, for some reason, they won't respect his human rights and that's not a great situation."

"From a medical perspective we know that a person like this is no longer infectious, no danger to the other team," said Valtonen."These isolation decisions are not based on medicine or science, it's more cultural and political decisions.”
