schema:articleBody	The Belarusian National Olympic Committee (NOC) on Tuesday called the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to not recognise its new leadership "groundless". The IOC on Monday refused to recognise the eldest son of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as the new head of the Belarus NOC after in December it banned them both from Olympic events over the national body's targeting of athletes for their political views. Viktor Lukashenko, who used to be vice-president of the NOC, took over from his father, who had headed the organisation since 1967. According to the IOC, Viktor Lukashenko and Dmitry Baskov, a member of the NOC executive board, will be excluded "from all IOC events and activities, including the Olympic Games". "We consider the position of the IOC... Completely groundless," the NOC said in a statement on Tuesday. "We are convinced that this decision is entirely politically motivated and thus violates the principle that 'Sport is outside politics'." According to the statement, the IOC's decision "is not a basis" for Lukashenko and Baskov to be removed from their posts. The NOC, however, insisted it was willing to conduct "constructive negotiations" with the IOC. It reiterated its invitation for representatives of the IOC to come to the Belarusian capital Minsk for "direct dialogue with the Belarusian sports society". Lukashenko's disputed re-election to a sixth term in August led to the most serious political crisis in Belarus' modern history, with protesters taking to the streets and authorities cracking down on the opposition. A number of prominent Belarusian athletes have supported Lukashenko's critics and demanded an end to the crackdown. The turmoil has also led to Belarus being stripped of the hosting rights for this year's ice hockey world championship. bur-mp-acl/jc/iwd
