The Volleyball Women's World Championship set for the Netherlands and Poland later this year cannot be considered complete without the participation of Russia, according to former title winner Nataliya Goncharova.
Goncharova, 33, and her compatriots will be forced to sit out the showpiece in September and October after volleyball governing body FIVB announced a ban on Russian teams from all its tournaments back in March.
When asked if she would be following the World Championship action from afar, Goncharova said she may well shun the showpiece altogether.
"I don't even know. Without us there won't be anything interesting. If I have free time, maybe I'll take a look," the 6ft 3in star, who was born in Ukraine but switched to Russia from 2010, told Match TV.
Asked to sum up the World Championship without Russia, Goncharova questioned whether it would be a legitimate spectacle.
"The World Championship without Russia isn't the World Championship," said the 2010 world champion and two-time European champion.
"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
