The IOC will consider dropping Russian pole vault star Yelena Isinbayeva as an Olympic ambassador following her comments about gay people, IOC president Jacques Rogge said Wednesday. But Rogge said the IOC has no power to inffluence Russia on its anti-gay legislation. Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Isinbayeva condemned homosexuality, saying Russians have “normal” heterosexual relations, and criticized two Swedish athletes who painted their fingernails in rainbow colours in support of gay rights.
